Always Leaving, Always Gone

Kenny Rogers

Compositor: Dick Monda / Kenny Rogers

Dusty dreams of yesterday, of women in the snow
Always leavin' and always gone
Reachin' for the sparkle in the yello' afternoon
Always leavin' and always gone
Always leavin' and always gone
Always gone.

The image of the girl appears there, clearly upon my mind
Always leavin' and always gone
Lost among the promises of the days I'll never find
Always leavin' and always gone
Always leavin' and always gone
Always gone.

I could hide the pain inside me but what would I win
I would lose the right to live and turn the pain to sin
So I'll find another way, some other words to sing
And whether you're stayin' or leavin' baby, I lose everything.

Here I am, another day, just a wonderin' where I'm at
Always leavin' and always gone
You fall on my memory but I try to get you there
Always leavin' and always gone
Always leavin' and always gone
Always gone.

Always leavin', always gone.
Always leavin', always gone.
Always leavin', always gone...
