I've always said that someday I was gonna leave you Some April when all the land is wet Some spring, some fall, Lord, or maybe winter I'll leave someday, but I'm not ready yet I know I should've left the day I knew you'd always die But I passed up every date that I ever set But I know I'll leave when my heart tells me it's ready But I'm still around, cause I'm ready You know I must've left you a hundred times, but you don't know that Cause I was afraid I'd be ashamed that you'd laugh when you found out just how far I'd get But you didn't, and you don't, I know you ain't gonna ever love me And someday I'll go, but I'm not ready yet I know I should've left the day I knew you'd always die But I passed up every date this old boy ever set But I know I'll leave when my heart tells me, George, we're ready But I'm still around, cause I'm ready I'm still around, cause I'm ready
