Letter to a Leader

from Terrestrian Hymns by Bateau Ivre

/

lyrics

Don't leave me alone with all my troubles
don't leave me alone with all my troubles
please be wise and strong
please don't take too long
and please do not deny what I have known all along

don't leave me alone with all my sorrow
you promised me there would be a tomorrow
please be true and brave
don't taint yourself with shame
and don't pretend that our world could ever stay the same

don't leave me alone with all my worries
all I see you do these days is hurry
keep me on my way
so I don't go astray
or I'll have to ask myself just why you joined the fray

don't leave us alone with all our troubles
don't leave us alone with all our troubles
show us better days
a way out of the maze
so we'll still be here when all the corals will have gone to waste.
