Moving On Lyrics by James

La Petite Mort

2014

Please don't get me started
Looking backwards to move on
Strong yet open-hearted
Accept leaving when leaving's come

God didn't see it coming
Never said I love you, hope you knew
Now my bags are packed and my sails are tacked
And my course is marked by stars
When this cycle ends
Will it start again?
Will we recognize old friends?

I'm on my way
Soon be moving on my way
Leave a little light on
Leave a little light on

I'm on my way
Soon be moving on my way
Leave a little light on
Leave a little light on

Time always unwinding
All these deadlines in my mind
Seeds and dreams we planted
Took for granted, didn't prove

Walking down this road
When my pulse beats slow
Hope to have you close at hand
When this cycle ends
Will it start again?
Will we recognize old friends?

I'm on my way
Soon be moving on my way
Leave a little light on
Leave a little light on

I'm on my way
On my way, on my way, on my way
Leave a light on
Leave a little light on

I'm on my way
Soon be moving on my way
Leave a little light on
Leave a little light on

I'm on my way
On my way, on my way, on my way
Leave a light on
Leave a little light on
Leave a little light on
