Always Leaving, Always Gone Lyrics

Dusty dreams of yesterday, of women in the snow
Always leavin' and always gone
Reachin' for the sparkle in the yello' afternoon
Always leavin' and always gone
Always leavin' and always go-o-one
Always gone
The image of the girl appears there, clearly upon my mind
Always leavin' and always gone
Lost among the promises of the days I'll never fi-ind
Always leavin' and always gone
Always leavin' and always go-o-one
Always gone
I could hide the pain inside me but what would I win
I would lose the right to live and turn the pain to si-i-i-in
So I'll find another way, some other words to sing
And whether you're stayin' or leavin' baby, I lose everythi-ing
Here I am, another day, just a wonderin' where I'm at
Always leavin' and always gone
You fall on my memory but I try to get you there
Always leavin' and always gone
Always leavin' and always go-o-one
Always gone
Always leavin', always go-one
Always leavin', always go-one
Always leavin', always go-one

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
