Dolly Parton › Lyrics › Always Leaving, Always Gone

Dusty dreams of yesterday, of women in the snow
Always leaving and always gone
Reachin' for the sparkle in the yellow afternoon
Always leaving and always gone
Always leaving 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 leaving and always gone
Always leaving 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 s-i-i-in
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 leaving and always gone
You fall on my memory but I try to get you there
Always leaving and always gone
Always leaving and always gone, always gone

Always leaving, always gone
Always leaving, always gone
Always leaving, always gone
