Where You Lay Your Head

I’ll be leaving here
Oh I’ll be leaving here
It won’t be another year,
I’m leaving in the morning

I love you all, don’t shed no tears
I love you all, don’t you shed no tears
I won’t be held by what I hold dear
I’m leaving in the morning

For I have fallen for a girl,
And she’ll be mine
Yes I have fallen for the first time

I have tripped and I have stumbled,
I’ve been wearing a disguise
I quietly have kept to me,
And now I’m running to your side
So where you lay your head rest easy
It’s you that I adore
I been gone but please believeme
I’ll be coming back for more

My heart is green,
My heart is yours
My heart is green, my heart is yours
It’s never felt this way before,
The lonely time is over

So what have I been waiting for?
What have I been waiting for?
I let you pass me by before
But now that time is over

For I have fallen for a girl
And she’ll be mine
Yes I have fallen for the first time

I forgot what I held sacred
I’ve remembered how to smile
Don’t mistake me, you’ll be lonely
But only for a while
So where you lay your head, rest easy
It’s you that I adore
I been gone but please believe me
I’ll be coming back for more

I’ll be leaving here
I’ll be leaving here
I’ll be leaving here
Leaving in the morning

For I have fallen for a girl
And she is mine
Yes I have fallen for the first time

I forgot what I held sacred
I’ve remembered how to smile
Don’t mistake me, you’ll be lonely
But only for a while
So where you lay your head, rest easy
It’s you that I adore
I been gone but please believe me
I’ll be coming back for more

I have tripped and I have stumbled,
I’ve been wearing a disguise
I quietly have kept to me,
And now I’m running to your side
So where you lay your head, rest easy
It’s you that I adore
I been gone but please believeme
I’ll be coming back for more
