lyrics

Leaving Babylon

I was out of time and out of body on a Saturday night
Well my phone kept ringing but my heart had stopped
I really didn't want to go

Well I never had nothing
I never had much
I never had reason man
To tell you that I'd keep in touch

And it's a long way back through a sunset city
I made my bed I don't want no pity
I never say goodbye it just ends

Well I sold my records and my last guitar
On a night so dark I couldn't see the stars
Next thing I knew I was leaving
Leaving this Babylon

And it's a long way back through a sunset city
I made my bed I don't want no pity
I never say goodbye it just ends

And it's a mean old world
I’m slipping through society
Boys and girls of the devil’s new economy
Looking out for the light up ahead

(Sailing on)
(Sailing on)

People talking 'bout me what I did and could have done
Like sand through my fingers or poison in my blood
Send my love to my daughters they did nothing wrong
Leaving Babylon, I am sailing on

And it's a long way back through a sunset city
I made my bed I don't want no pity
I never say goodbye, it just ends

And the ashes burn but my soul’s delivered
From Tompkins Square to a holy river
I never say goodbye, it just ends

(Sailing on)
