Leaving the Canyons Lyrics by Kennebec

Without Star or Compass

2022

[Verse 1]
I can barely speak
I can hardly talk
I can't lift a thing
Can barely think
Can hardly walk
Was it all a dream
Shooting through the park
Searching for the moon
To hold you in the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
To hold you in the dark
To hold you in the dark
To hold you in the dark
[Chorus]
'Cause I can't be there when you need me there
If I'm gone, If I'm gone
I'll always be there if you need to share
But you don't want me there
So I'm gone
[Verse 2]
Struck out through the woods
Crossing county lines
Over mountain peaks
Deep into the wild
Carving through the roots
Made myself a room
And laid amidst the pines
[Chorus]
If I can't be there when you need me there
Then I'm gone, then I'm gone
I'll always be there if you need to share
But you don't want me there
So I'm gone
[Verse 3]
And in the canyons where I've made my bed
I'll leave a light on
I'll leave a light on
Not fear, but hope, you'll find me there
I leave a light on
I leave a light on
I leave a light on
[Outro]
I fear I'll be a better man when I'm gone when I'm gone
And I fear I'll be a better friend when I'm gone when I'm gone
And I fear I'll be a better man when I'm gone when I'm gone
But I'll leave the light on
I'll leave the light on
I'll leave the light on
I'll leave the light on
