lyrics

I stood upon a hill
The rain had drenched my clothes
My boots are soaking in
The wake of all my woes
But your love has warmed my heart
Like the sun

I won't be home when you knock on my door
I've packed my things and a longing for more
And so I said a last farewell to the walls
That kept my soul from being torn into fours
I took one last good look and headed down the line
I'm leaving all the past behind

I need not speak where these old feet have tread
Like those wandering birds I am covered in red
A dirty chest of feathers tells of where they're been
And like those I have gone to where the grass is green
Another promise of a land held in time
I'm leaving all the past behind

Do you recall seeing sparks in the rain
Or in the tears where our wonder remains?
I turn the key to keep an eye and keep my heart
Behind the wooden doors I guard it with my life
But all it takes is just a word to swing them wide
I'm leaving all the past behind

I'm leaving all the past behind
