lyrics

GOING AWAY
Ola Onabule © 2004

So he says, sweet darlings don’t look my way,
Innocent eyes like yours should’nt have to know this pain,
The kind I’d love to shield you from,
With every last breath of my soul, Of my soul.

A better day’s coming, shiny and new,
perfect in every way, for angels just like you,
have no fear, Keep it it together,
The happiest you’ve ever known... wait and see!

no more battle on the front-line,
I’ve seen enough to last a lifetime,
They ain’t gonna make a flat line out of me...

Just before I leave this battle zone behind,
I’m going away,
Before I keep my mouth shut for the rest of time,
got one last thing to say.

Did I say sweet darlings, the struggle is my life,
I just can’t bear to see this misery and strife,
I wish there was another road,
Without so much sacrifice, sacrifice.

I ain’t frettin' any longer,
And I ain’t getting any younger,
They ain’t gonna make a failure out of me..

Just before I leave this battle zone behind,
I’m going away,
Before I keep my mouth shut for the rest of time,
got one last thing to say.
