Remember when I brought you here   those long bright days ago 
For all that time you've been my heart   and this land has been my soul 
The long bright days are over now   but still my heart beats on 
But Jenny dear             the soul has gone 
 
 
Lea----------ving the land          Lea-----------ving the land 
Leaving all I've ever been and every thing I am 
Leaving the land 
 
 
It's time to go Jenny   Drive quickly down the track 
We'll never see what lies ahead   if we keep on looking back 
Behind us is just an empty house  old memories and ghosts 
And our small dreams         gathering dust 
 
 
Lea----------ving the land          Lea-----------ving the land 
Leaving all I've ever been and every thing I am 
Leaving the land
