lyrics

Leave Me Alone - Stephen Leigh

I want to be with you, but not right now
It doesn’t matter that it feels right somehow
The time I have with you I cherish
I’d hate for our relationship to perish
It’s not that I want you to feel any pressure
I want you to stay with me forever
But just right now
I want you to leave me alone

Wanting some space doesn’t mean that I’ll never share
It doesn’t mean that I’m having an affair
You have to trust in the love I’ve shown
Cuz you’re the best partner that I’ve ever known
To keep our love I will deal with whatever
I want you to stay with me forever
But just right now
I want you to leave me alone

They say there’s no light without the dark
There’s never any fire without some spark
We can carve our initials into some tree’s bark
But that doesn’t mean we should never be apart

(solo to verse, repeat chorus)

Going away doesn’t mean I’m never coming back
There’s no reason to have a panic attack
Every now and then I just need to be alone
I need to know that I can make it on my own
There’s no reason for that high blood pressure
I want you to stay with me forever
But just right now
I want you to leave me alone
But just right now
I want you to leave me alone

Easy Way Down
by Eamon O'Leary and Jefferson Hamer (The Murphy Beds)

I LOVE this duo. Eamon plays the bouzouki, an instrument I just picked up to learn. Their voices blend perfectly, and I like the Celtic/Folk influence on their songs. Check 'em out! Stephen Leigh
