If you ever see me starin' at birds flyin' to south And you call my name I don't answer If you ever catch me searchin' through the closet in the hall For that old beatup decode covered suitcase If my walks take me further from the house every day And at night my mind is a million miles away Take me in your arms and baby hold me strong Cause your loving takes the leaving yes your loving takes the leaving out of me [ Ac.guitar ] When the autumn leaves start fallin' and swirlin' through the streets And you feel a lonely wind in our room And you look into my eyes and see the distand pleading wink Of a dream I was chasing when I met you Nothing's changed I still love you just as much as before But if you wake up some night and I'm heading for the door Take me in your arms... Yes your loving takes the leaving yes your loving takes the leaving out of me
