Description
"Leaving For Good" is the first single off Embleton's debut record, "It Did Me Well", out March 10, 2015. "Embleton’s songwriting vehicle combines the poignant pedal steel of Mojave 3, the soaring arrangements of Dawes, and the ragged charm of Bright Eyes in the sentimental barn-burner “Leaving for Good.” The living eulogy for a close friend leaving the area floats along on a river of flaring horns and Embleton’s low, passionate vocals." - Independent Clauses
Lyrics
You were like a brother And at times I called your mom my mother Life here left you wanting Had your bags in your doorway When I heard that you were leavin’ with a one way pass I tied myself to the railroad track I’ve done everything I could ‘Cause I heard that you were leaving for good (When I heard that you were leaving for good) To my disappointment They said you hitched a free ride to Portland There’s no use in crying As they handed me your note. It read: I've gone westward. Moved on My heart to find, you’ll see in time. Sickness brought you homeward And my wedding was moving forward Doctors said you're fine But you just stayed in bed and slept
