Leaving Her For The Last Time Lyrics - Paul Kelly And The Messengers

Steve Connolly (Mushroom) 

Sydney's in sunshine but it's cold as sin 

Everyone walks leaning into the wind 

On Crown Street I wait for my expensive friend 

I can see by his eyes I'm in trouble again 

I hurry down Broadway my time's drawing near 

Come Independence Day I'm in the clear 

Set 'em up Bruce, let's drink one more beer 

'Cause I'm leaving her for the last time 

I'm all done with walking the line 

I'm leaving her for the very last time 

And I'm through with reason and wine 

I'm leaving her for the very last time 

In more ways than one I was totally blind 

Yes I admit that I missed every sign 

Now my reputation has lost all it's shine 

Lights on at Central, a train's heading south 

I don't care if it looks like I'm running out 

Set 'em up Bruce, this time it's my shout 

I'm leaving her for the last time 

I'm all done with changing my mind 

I'm leaving her for the very last time 

And I'm through with reasoning why 

I'm leaving her for the very last time
