Don't Leave Me Now Lyrics

Don't leave me now
Leave me out in the pouring rain
With my back against the wall
Don't leave me now

Don't leave me now
Leave me out with no where to go
As the shadows start to fall
Don't leave me now

Don't leave me now
Leave me out on this lonely road
As the wind begins to howl
Don't leave me now

Don't leave me now
All alone on this darkest night
Feeling old, and cold, and grey
Don't leave me now

Oh don't leave me now
Leave me holding an empty heart
As the curtain starts to fall
Don't leave me now

Oh don't leave me now
All alone in this crazy world
When I'm old, and cold, and grey, and tired, and gone

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Strange. When I first heard this song, I remember my first love, our first kiss, and her running away from me in the rain. It was almost exactly as he describes it here: It was dusk. It was pounding down rain. We had just kissed under a tin roof in a mostly abandoned city block. I said something she didn't understand and she took off in the pouring rain.

I always wonder if Roger had an experience like mine...

Funny enough this was the last song that Roger Hodgson and the band recorded together on the album Famous Last Words.

For those of you that saw the tour Famous Last Words they had a video of the tightrope moving to the beat of Bob Siebenberg 's drums ( or was that a tape) . Since that was about 37 years ago I can't remember if the rope was cut in the video. Just before Roger Hodgson sang Give A Little Bit in the concert I saw he announced he was leaving which of course was met with boos. Anyway things to consider from the last tour where Supertramp was complete. .

@ed10733811 Saw then in that last tour myself... the Frank Erwin Center on the University of Texas campus. Also remembering the boos when RH said he was moving on. Cheers!
