The Innocence Mission - Going Away Lyrics

The Innocence Mission Lyrics

"Going Away"

Sixty miles or six hundred
The shadow of the pines
Or the sunny station wagon
We're looking at the map
And we're laughing and we're going

I hope some other time
I won't care so much about
Being understood as I do now
I will leave myself and go away
I would like to follow you away

Would you let me take care of you?
I would like to sing you a song in the morning
Walk you to the car when you're going
Where you're going

And then some other time
I wouldn't care so much about
Being understood as I do now
I would leave myself and go away
I would like to follow you away

Walk you to the car when you're going
Where you're going

I wouldn't care so much about
Being understood as I do now
I would leave myself and go away
I would like to follow you away

Seeing you I know what is right
And what is true
Oh, I see the way I want to be
Oh, I see the way I want to be
