Knowing When To Go Lyrics

Knowing When To Go lyrics

The last time I saw you

You were standing by the tracks

Holding on to a vinyl suitcase

Holding back an easy laugh



Oh don't you know



Standing on that crowded train

Holding up your hands to wave

Staring at the silent faces

Holding back the falling rain



Oh, don't you know

Leaving's not always the hardest

It's knowing when to go



You knew the years would bring the changes

And to you, they seemed so aimless

Time melted all the seasons

The gentle rain, the cool breezes



Oh, don't you know

Leaving's not always the hardest

It's knowing when to go



When the alarm sounds in the morning

You know you'll have some place to go

Plans made on windy days

Are not always easy to hold



Oh, don't you know

Now you'll return here every summer

You'll watch the sun dance on the water

Pick the apples from the tree

And visit friends on bended knee



Oh don't you know

Leaving's not always the hardest

It's knowing when to go



Oh don't you know

Leaving's not always the hardest

It's knowing when to go
