Going Home Lyrics - Give My Love To London - Marianne Faithfull

I love to speak with Leonard 

He's a sportsman and a shepherd 

He's a lazy bastard 

Living in a suit 

But he does say what I tell him 

Even though it isn't welcome 

He just doesn't have the freedom to refuse 

He will speak these words of wisdom 

Like a sage, a man of vision 

Though he knows he's really nothing 

But a brief elaboration of a tune 

Going home without my sorrow 

Going home sometime tomorrow 

Going home to where it's better than before 

Going home without my burden 

Going home behind the curtain 

Going home without the costume that I wore

He wants to write a love song 

An anthem of forgiving 

A manual for living with defeat 

A cry above the suffering 

A sacrifice recovering 

But that isn't what I need him to complete 

I want him to be certain 

That he doesn't have a burden 

That he doesn't need a vision 

That he only has permission 

To do my instant bidding 

Which is to say what I have told him to repeat 

Going home without my sorrow 

Going home sometime tomorrow 

Going home to where it's better than before 

Going home without my burden 

Going home behind the curtain 

Going home without this costume that I wore

I'm going home without my sorrow 

Going home sometime tomorrow 

Going home to where it's better than before 

Going home without my burden 

Going home behind the curtain 

Going home without this costume that I wore 

I love to speak with Leonard 

He's a sportsman and a shepherd 

He's a lazy bastard living in a suit
