Sailing down this river of meaning,
Tell me baby, where d’ya wanna go?
I can see you're getting ready for leaving,
Tell me darling, why didn't you just say so?

PRE-CHORUS

Not every day is a walk in the park,
not every night has a candle in the dark -
Tell me baby, oh baby, can you love me still?

CHORUS

or are you leaving me behind?
Tell me what ya gonna find, sweet lover, yeah.
Leaving me behind...

Well, I wish you love and lots of luck,
and I hope your heart don't come unstuck, like mine.

Well, I wish you love and lots of luck,
and I hope your heart don't come unstuck, like mine.

Baby, baby, still got to write some words.
Tell me honey, what should I say?
Yeah, I know that you're leaving tomorrow;
but my darling we've still got today...

Just a few moments that I can call mine...

BRIDGE

If you find your path ain't what you dreamed,
And the love you’re chasin’ ain't all it seemed,
Remember, darling, when you miss my voice,
I’ll mend my heart, but you can’t mend your choice.

Because you’re leaving me behind.
Tell me what ya hope to find, sweet lover, yeah.
Leaving me behind...

Tan Leigh - Leaving me Behind

Verse 1:

Where did my mind go?
Did it fly away on the back of a star?
Did it hitch a ride to heaven?

Is it just an illusion, just a fancy-free thought running ‘round in someone’s head?

Where is my mind now?
Well, it's flying free in the place where the eagles soar.
Floating through space now
on the back of a psychedelic rainbow train

Will it come back again?

PRE-CHORUS:

And I said, hey, I just wanna stay insane.
I don't wanna come back to this sad reality.
Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, I don't wanna feel this pain.
I just wanna wake up one day not being me.

CHORUS:

I've gotta run baby, run baby, run baby, run baby
run away.
Fly baby, fly baby, fly baby, fly baby
each and every day
Spread my wings, touch the sky,
catch broken dreams.

Yeah, yeah, not what it seems
Yeah, yeah.

Verse 2:

Where did my love go?
Did it disappear like smoke in a cloud?
Does it shine right through the heavens?

Will I ever stop searching; or will you write my name in never-ending tears?

Where is my love now?
Well, it's spinning ‘round in currents forever gone.
Just remember the way now.
Don't lose yourself in a million empty ways.

Just keep counting the days

PRE-CHORUS:

And I said, hey, I just wanna stay insane.
I don't wanna come back to this sad reality.
Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, I don't wanna feel this pain.
I just wanna wake up one day not being me.

BRIDGE:

Drifting with shadows in a dark, dreamy haze,
Pretending there’s magic in make-believe days.
I chase my high to where pain cannot touch,
But the dreams that I dance with are never enough.

I left my heart behind because here emotions aren’t alive;
But the reasons I exist make me want to learn how to survive.

FINAL CHORUS:

So, I'm gonna run baby, run baby, run baby, run baby,
run your way.
Fly baby, fly baby, fly baby, fly baby,
into the day.
and I will sing, stop living lies,
make new memories -

Yeah, yeah.

Pray for love’s release
Yeah, yeah.

Lord help my heart unfreeze
Yeah, yeah.

Lord help my heart unfreeze
Yeah, yeah,

And maybe one day my dreams will find me...
Awake and ready; ready to be free.

Yeah, yeah.

Verse 1

You wanna feel good? I can make you feel nice,
And I’ll do it easy, not just once or twice.
I know what you need, I got 5-star love-style
C’mon over here honey, hang out for a while.
Get into my groove, get into my zone -
It`s more fun together than it is alone.
You wanna feel sexy? Hit the spot?
Are you coming with? ‘Cause I’m coming hot...
Yeah Baby…

Pre-Chorus

Now feel the beat, let it take control,
Lose yourself, and let the music roll.
I got fire in my eyes, mmm, heat in my soul,
My passion’s unstoppable, Baby, let’s go….

Chorus

Hit the spot, hit the spot now baby,
Not too cold, not too hot now baby,
Gotta move, gotta move now baby,
Find the groove, find the groove...

Verse 2

I wanna feel good, like I know I should
Maybe you can do it, I just bet you could,
Baby, don’t say how good you’ll make me feel,
Coz we’re both here tonight, why don’t you do it for real?
Ooh, I need a man and Baby you are it.
We’d be good together, yeah, we’d be a hit.
Yeah, Baby, swing, see me move my hips -
Come a little closer, let me kiss your lips...
Yeah Baby

Pre-Chorus

Feel the beat, let it take control,
Lose yourself, let the music roll.
I got fire in my eyes, mmm, heat in my soul,
My passion’s unstoppable, Baby let’s go...

Chorus

Hit the spot, hit the spot now baby,
Not too cold, not too hot now baby,
Gotta move, gotta move now baby,
Find the groove, find the groove...

Verse 3

You can move it slow, you can move it fast,
You can move it to me, you can move it past.
I like what I see, inside your dope blue jeans,
I see the way you dance, I know the pleasure it means.
Look me in the eye, Baby, see what I want,
You can move it behind, you can groove it in front.
Let’s get it on, Baby, don’t waste my time,
We can rock the whole night honey, your place, or mine?
Oooh, Baby…

Bridge

Moving together, we’re so alive.
We light up the night, got the perfect vibe.
There’s no holding back, it’s just you and me,
Lost in this moment, young, wild and free.
Can you feel it, Baby? Can you feel the fire?
Let’s keep it going, hotter and higher...
Ooooooh

Chorus

Hit the spot, hit the spot now baby,
Not too cold, not too hot now baby,
Gotta move, gotta move now baby,
Find the groove, find the groove...

Chorus

Hit the spot, hit the spot now baby,
Not too cold, not too hot now baby,
Gotta move, gotta move now baby,
Find the groove, find the groove...
Mmmmm
Find the groove, find the groove.

About Me

Bio

I am growing and evolving daily. I have so much to give and do, but so little time to do it in. And, quite frankly, I don't know where to start!

I am a creative dreamer who couldn't be bothered with the practical details of the world. One of those "true artists" who are never recognized until after they're dead. I love creating - music, songs, words, stories, art, characters, gardens, ideas, anything at all that allows me to give life to a thought. I am one of those souls who will probably never be rich, because I am a lover of happiness, joy and freedom. A free spirit can never thrive when it has to curb its journeys through the etherworld in order to make sure that the money stays marching obediently in its rows.

I make my own rules, which don't always stand me in good stead with society. If I want to climb a tree, I don't see why I shouldn't, and if I feel like dancing in the wind, I don't have to be ine
iated.

Sadly, the world doesn't understand that it's my freedom from these constraints that makes me who I am. And I love being me. I'm just so sorry that the world doesn't understand the joy of the exploding self. And the natural order of recollecting it, with all the interesting bits it collects on it's journey.

When I go on a "trip", I choose to fly beyond the natural borders of the real world, and the limits people place on consciousness. I don't need substances, though I have used them, I just need the freedom and non-judgement that I deserve as a creative.

Unfortunately, the world judges those they don't understand, unless they are wealthy lol. And I'm not there yet. I'm still just strange. When I'm wealthy, I'll be eccentric. What a silly world we live in. I like my world better, and I invite you to open your minds, and allow yourselves to dream your dreams, and not be afraid to let your thoughts out without a leash once in a while.

If you do that the natural way, without using drugs, it’s a great experience that’ll only enrich you. You don’t have to be afraid to step out of your box.
