NFSCD #07 - Leaving Me Now
This week I'm going to dig out one of my guilty pleasures. I wouldn't be surprised if any that are still around for this edition, you would be “Leaving Me Now”.
For the 7th edition of NFSCD (“Now For Something Completely Different”), the spotlight is turned on Level 42. Probably their most famous and biggest selling album is their 1987 album, “Running in the Family”, from which came the singles, “Lessons in Love”, “Running in the Family” and “It's Over”. However, this was not the album that they really first went mainstream from their original jazz-funk style of the earlier albums. That distinction, I think, goes to the previous album, “World Machine”, which was released in 1985. The song shared today entitled, “Leaving Me Now”, is from this album.

Leaving Me Now
(Mark King/Level 42)
It seems true love is so rare
Seems all I’ve known is deceit
Your laughter fills the air
Once more I’m sensing defeat
And I suppose you’re leaving me now
I was so sure now I’m so full of doubt
And I suppose you’ll be leaving this place
Just like the smile you wiped from my face
This time
I always gave my best
Your memory serves you so badly
Some people kill for less
Yet I’d still die for you gladly oh, so gladly
But I suppose it’s my turn now
To play a scene that’s familiar somehow
I turn the page and you walk away
Not even love could bring you to stay
This time
Walk away
You don’t need me
Once more I’m learning
In the depths of my despair
Your lies confirming
True love is so rare
And I suppose it’s my turn now
There’s no more love only feelings of doubt
Gone with the hope your words have erased
Gone with the smile you wiped from my face
Love is a ship we all hope to steer
Through troubled times cross an ocean of tears
A midnight sea that swells in your eyes
Takes just one look to know I’m still mesmerized
But I suppose you’re leaving me now
I was so sure now I’m so full of doubt
I turn the page and you walk away
Not even love could bring you to stay
This time
Leaving me now
Leaving this place
I watch you walk away with an easy grace

I couldn’t find the lyrics of the song that I mentioned in last week's NFSCD that I wanted to post. When I do find the lyrics of that song, I'll put it up in a future edition of NSFCD.
