lyrics

I’m leaving old town
I’m leaving everything
won’t let the sun shine
won’t let the birds sing
I’ve got a bright star
I’ve got an offering

I’m leaving old town
I’m leaving home again
I can’t remember
how it’s all supposed to end
I’ll be a big girl
I’ll be a better friend

I made a big deal
out of a little time
I’ve had to let go
of everything that wasn’t mine
I’ve got a big dream
I’ve got a reason why

I’m leaving old town
It’s all that I can see
I want to laugh loud
when I look back at me
I want the magic
I want the fantasy

I made a big deal
out of a little time
I’ve had to let go
of everything that wasn’t mine
I’ve got a big dream
I’ve got a reason why

and if I die here
what would I think of that
would I just lie here
wishing I could go on back
I’ll climb the branches
to where the sky is at

I made a big deal
out of a little time
I’ve had to let go
of everything that wasn’t mine
I’ve got a big dream
I’ve got a reason why
