Lyrics:
It's time to go, Jenny, no need to close the door
What if the dust gets in the house? It doesn't matter any more
You and the dust have been at war for far too many years
But now the war is over, Jenny dear
Chorus:
Leaving the land
Leaving the land
Leaving all I've ever been and everything I am
Leaving the land
Remember when I brought you here those long, bright years ago?
For all that time you've been my heart, and this land has been my soul
The long, bright days are over now, but still the heart beats on
But, Jenny dear, the soul is gone
(Chorus)
It's time to go, Jenny, drive quickly down the track
We'll never see what lies ahead if we keep on looking back
Behind is just an empty house, old memories and ghosts
And our small dream gathering dust
(Chorus)
Leaving the land
