Leaving New York (athens Rehearsal Sessions) Lyrics & Chords By R.e.m.

It's quiet now and what it brings is everything
Comes calling back a brilliant night, I'm still awake
I looked ahead, I'm sure I saw you there
You don't need me to tell you now that nothing can compare
You might have laughed if I told you
You might have hidden a frown
You might have succeeded in changing me
I might have been turned around
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
Leaving was never my proud
Leaving New York, never easy
I saw the light fading out
Now life is sweet and what it brings
I tried to take
But loneliness it wears me out
It lies in way
And all not lost still in my eyes
Shadow of necklace across your thigh
I might've lived my life in a dream, but I swear
This is real
Memory fuses and shatters like glass
Mercurial future, forget the past
It's you, it's what I feel
You might have laughed if I told you
(It's pulling me apart)
You might have hidden a frown
(Change)
You might have succeeded in changing me
(It's pulling me apart)
I might have been turned around
(Change)
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
(It's pulling me apart)
Leaving was never my proud
(Change)
Leaving New York, never easy
(It's pulling me apart)
I saw the light fading out
You find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart
You find it in your heart, change
(I told you, forever)
You find it in your heart
(I love you, forever)
It's pulling me apart
(I told you, I love you)
You find it in your heart
(I love you, forever)
Change
(I told you, forever)
You find it in your heart
(I love you, forever)
It's pulling me apart
(I told you, I love you)
You find it in your heart
(I love you, forever)
Change
(You never, you never)
You might have laughed if I told you
(I told you, forever)
(It's pulling me apart)
(You told me forever)
You might have hidden the frown
(Change)
You might have succeeded in changing me
(It's pulling me apart)
I might have been turned around
(Change)
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
(It's pulling me apart)
Leaving was never my proud
(Change)
Leaving New York never easy
(It's pulling me apart)
I saw the life fading out
(Change)
Leaving New York, never easy
(It's pulling me apart)
I saw the light fading out
(Change)
Leaving New York never easy
(It's pulling me apart)
I saw the life fading out
(Change)
