Marillion Lyrics
"A Legacy"

When I leave you
I will leave you
Things that might not help you
Things that might
Problems that I never solved
Dreams to keep you up at night
As I leave you
I will leave you
Things that stick for ever
Things that slide
Mysteries I swallowed whole

Happiness I couldn't share (I will leave you)
Promises I never kept (I will leave you)
Stories that I never told
Principles betrayed or sold (I will leave you)

Love I tried to spread too wide (I will leave you)
Muscles you can grow in hate (I will leave you)
Summer darkness, winter light
Young man's shame and old man's pride

Happiness I couldn't share (I will leave you)
Promises I never kept (I will leave you)
Stories that I never told
Principles betrayed or sold (I will leave you)

Love I tried to spread too wide (I will leave you)
Muscles you can grow in hate (I will leave you)
Summer darkness, winter light
Young man's shame and old man's pride

When I leave you
I will hate to leave you
That's the heat that grows
With growing old

When I leave you
I will hate to leave you
That's the heat that grows

Happiness I couldn't share
Promises I never kept
Love I tried to spread too wide
Young man's shame and old man's pride

When I leave you
When I leave you
I will hate

When I leave you
I will hate to leave you
That's the heat that grows
With growing old

So never let me leave you
Never let me leave you
Never let me leave you
Cold
