I’ve Got to Leave You Now

[Verse 1]
Too many men are worse than rodents
Too many kill with easy mind
Just years to memorize a passage
From a fabled god whose hands are full of time

[Chorus]
Our souls might mingle in the after-torch
Like four friends smoking
On a midnight porch
I've always loved you the best
I knew how
I've got to leave you now

[Verse 2]
If you find yourself at peace
Learn to keep it
If you find yourself in battle
Carry on
Save your life and flee the crazy captain
Whose connection to this planet's all but gone

And I hope you have real love in your future
I hope you dance each month of May away
And also put your shoulder to a purpose
And leave this world a slightly better place

[Chorus]
Our souls might mingle in the after-torch
Like four friends smoking
On a midnight porch
I've always loved you the best
I knew how
I've got to leave you now

[Verse 3]
Promise me you won't worry
It's probably like the time 'fore I was born
Make some waves out on the ocean
With all the best inside you
My sons

[Chorus]
Our souls might mingle in the after-torch
Like four friends smoking
On a midnight porch
I've always loved you the best
I knew how
I've got to leave you now
