I've Got to Leave You Now

Too many men are worse than rodents
Too many kill with easy mind,
Just used to memorize the passage
From a fabled God who's hands are full of time
Our souls might mingle in the aftertorch
Like four friends smoking on a midnight porch
I've always loved you the best I knew how
I've got to leave you now.
If you find yourself at peace, learn to keep it
If you find yourself in battle, carry on
Save your life and flee the crazy captain
Whose connection to this planet is all but gone.
I hope you have real love in your future
I hope you dance each month of May away
And also put your shoulder to a purpose
And leave this world a slightly better place.
Our souls might mingle in the aftertorch
Like four friends smoking on a midnight porch
I've always loved you the best I knew how
But, I've got to leave you now.
Promise me you won't worry.
It's probably like the time before I was born.
Make some waves out on the ocean,
With all the best inside you, my sons.
Our souls might mingle in the aftertorch
Like four friends smoking on a midnight porch
I've always loved you the best I knew how
I've got to leave you now.
