    As I'm Leaving Lyrics:
    As I'm leaving
    A change comes on my eyes
    These streets persuading me
    With mumbled strange goodbyes
    Through the water
    Through the rain
    To the soul of everything
    Throw my heart out on the stones
    And I'm almost gone
    There's no meaning
    In clothes and coffee cups
    Cheap hotel furniture
    Where silence never stops
    Through the water
    Through the rain
    To the soul of everything
    Throw my memories to the wind
    And I'm almost gone
    And now I'm dreaming
    I'm staring at the walls
    Cars are frozen now
    In late night waterfalls
    Through the water
    Through the rain
    To the soul of everything
    Throw my heart out on the stones
    And I'm almost
    Through the water
    Through the rain
    To the soul of everything
    Wash my heart out on the stones
    And I'm almost gone

    I'm dying, I know I'm almost gone ... I've been putting together my own music list to be played when I'm gone. This song has always been number 1

      He literally healed me from nerve damage caused by a stabbing that crippled me.
      The drs had no hope and without the surgery's besides the stabilizing me and 9 units of blood transfusions i was healed with completely severed tendons, brachial arteries muscles and more.
      Please decide to give the master of the universe a chance.
      He is so wonderful.
      I love you and will be praying for you!!!

      David went out with me for a month or so. 39 years ago I was 16 and he was 17. I have only just realised who he is now. He did not talk much. He seemed "different". I made him smile. The way he looked at me will never leave me. He was a lovely person. I was sad when I realised he was not coming to see me any more.
      He did not talk much. I did not have much of a voice either, when I was 16.
      1985- I was sad when I realised he was not coming to see me any more.
      2024- I am heartbroken.

    This guy makes me cry whilst im playing piano..... He can hit every nerve. Seen him live! In my eyes a rare gem still to be truly appreciated by mainstream. Forget chart music in where artists dont sing. Music has lost its roots... Singing and emotion make powerfull songs we remember for life..

      @kimberlyvaughan1436 Před rokem

      I totally agree, the instruments during any song are key to me, just the musical ensemble can take you away to the inside of the feelings of the song, without words, then You add someone's unique sound. But I like anything from 70's-present, country, Christian, classic rock. Some my friends don't have a clue, lol. Like Leon Russell, James Taylor, Barry White, Dr
      Hook, Stevie Nicks is by far my idol, country, George Straight is a true cowboy, Phil Collins, etc.... Bonnie Raitt, Allman Brothers, Lynard Synard, I have seen Greg Allman in the bars in Macon, Ga. Where I'm from, Stillwater was friends of family, they hung out with Greg. This generation or any will never know the meaning of good music, lol. God Bless You my friend ❤️

      To hell with mainstream, first time I saw David live, there were 15-16 year old girls in the audience singing his songs word for word, they didn't get it from mainstream, he's to good for mainstream.

    My gosh David you are quite the legend. Been listening to your stuff since about 1995, didn't even know this song existed until this week! Now I'm stuck between this, flame turns blue and lately!
    Such a majestic artist. All of your songs are just perfect melodies and harmonies with exceptional lyrics.
    You, sir, are a true inspiration. Live long Mr Gray.

    I am trying to bring it all together. The Dave I knew in 1985, the White Ladder David Gray, and the legend he has become.

    White Ladder exposed me to DG's sensitive, romantic & soulful lyrics. i haven't been the same since. sighs. he could sing and play piano in a way that can transcend how music affects and connects our loveliness.

    As I'm leaving
    A change comes on my eyes
    These streets persuading me
    With mumbled strange goodbyes
    Through the water
    Through the rain
    To the soul of everything
    Throw my heart out on the stones
    And I'm almost gone
    There's no meaning
    In clothes and coffee cups
    Cheap hotel furniture
    Where silence never stops
    Through the water
    Through the rain
    To the soul of everything
    Throw my memories to the wind
    And I'm almost gone
    And now I'm dreaming
    I'm staring at the walls
    Cars are frozen now
    In late…

    the rest of the world knows DG is an icon in the singer/songwriter sense. here in America, White Ladder became our signature album. then, his songs seemed to disappear through the rain. it wasn't that he wasn't popular but maybe over-saaturation.

    Now i will be honest,i had a listen to his new stuff,not so sure,maybe it's like i said in the first line and it just needs to grow on me,ok so i will give the albums,FOUNDLING and LATELY another try,anyway,that's my rant,ON YOUR BIKE NOW HAY.
