I'm putting on my walking shoes, please help me find my hat
It's time that I was leaving, got no time for looking back
I'm going away, yeah feeling fine, woah
When it's time to go you've got to leave the past behind
When I look out through my window, it's as dark as it could be
But I know the son is coming to wake the world from sleep
I'm going away, going away, feeling fine woah woah
And when you follow where he leads
You've got to leave the past behind
Man is born in trouble, everybody got the blues
People looking for an answer, people wishing for good news
So if you got the answer then there's one thing you must do
You must tell them what you know and you must live a life that's true
Wo-hoo
Aw man is born in trouble, everybody's got the blues
People praying for an answer, people hoping for good news
So if you know the answer there is one thing you must do
You must walk, you must talk, you must hurry up to beat the clock
You must tell them to get ready so they can leave the past behind
Well my circle is completed, I've got to travel on
So if you understand, don't talk about me when I'm gone
I'm going away (going away)
I'm going away (going away)
I'm feeling fine, 89 is really 99
I'm going away, going away, going away
Island in the sky is number nine
I'm going away, going away, going away
I'm feeling fine
Well it's a good good feeling when you leave the past behind
Yeah I've got to start another circle, got to leave the past behind
Wo-ooh
I'm going away, you won't see me for a while
I gotta do some things, I got to walk an extra mile
But I'll see you in the city of the lost angels
I'm going away
