Leaving the Land

What if the dust gets in the house it doesn't matter anymore
You and the dust have been at war for far too many years
Now the war is over Jenny dear
Bmin E ( as intro )

Leaving all I've ever been and every thing I am
Leaving the land
E A ( as intro )
Remember when I brought you here those long bright days ago
For all that time you've been my heart and this land has been my soul
The long bright days are over now but still my heart beats on
But Jenny dear the soul has gone

Leaving all I've ever been and every thing I am
Leaving the land
It's time to go Jenny Drive quickly down the track
We'll never see what lies ahead if we keep on looking back
Behind us is just an empty house old memories and ghosts
And our small dreams gathering dust

Leaving all I've ever been and every thing I am
Leaving the land
