I’ll Keep This with Mine (Leaving ’Liggan Woods) Ralph McTell

Although we both are leaving
It's not in separate ways
Because our paths will always cross
Though never in this place
Of course I'm going to miss you
Like water from our well
And the moon above the sighing trees
The scented woods as well
We just served out our notice and resigned
I'll keep this with mine
I'll keep this with mine

I remember walking
Up the muddy track
Relentless rhododendron rain
Drizzling down my back
A smile of wood smoke in the air
My slipping sliding step
One boot on and one boot off
Hopping whilst you slept
Ghostly washing flapping on the line
I'll keep this with mine
I'll keep this with mine

All the pictures, they are yours
All the records mine
A silent exit, no applause
To Jack's beanstalk pantomime
It's moments you remember
Not the constant ebb and flow
When that oak fell in the meadow
Or that sudden April snow
Some things just seem to happen out of time
I'll keep this with mine
I'll keep this with mine
