I'm leaving an extra round because I'll be gone for three days. I'll put up another word on Monday.

(Read only, anymore; sorry.)
Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

Babe I'm gonna leave you
Leave you when old summer comes along
(Joan Baez sang it, I think)
I know your leaving is too long overdue
For far too long I've had nothing new to show to you
WIth my dry eyes I watch your plane fade off west of the moon
Then it felt so strange, to walk away alone
No Regrets
Tom Rush
I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh babe, I hate to go.

If you miss the train I'm on
Then you'll know that I am gone

Lights so bright, palm sweat, blackjack on a Saturday night

And a big yellow taxi took away my girl

Than live without him in mine

I'm leaving by night
I'm leaving alone

Sailing, sailing,
Over the bounding main,
Many a stormy wind shall pass,
ere Jack come home again.

Guess I'll go out to Alberta
Weather's good there in the fall
Got some friends that I can go to working for
Four Strong Winds

I guess this is good-bye, old pal.
You've been a perfect friend.
I hate to see us part, old pal.
Someday I'll buy you back;
I'll see you soon again.
I hope that when I do
It won't be on a plate.
-Jack (of Beanstalk fame) to Milky White (a cow) from "Into the Woods" by Stephen Sondheim
Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye

Must be the clouds in my eyes

The Partridge Family was supposed to live in Albuquerque!?
From Godspell:
Where are you going, where are you going
Can you take me with you...
(maybe... Holly's in a different state and so I can't ask her to sing it for me)
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm travellin' on
Don't think twice, it's all right

Are you going away with no word of farewell?
Will there be not a trace left behind?

My pony won't stand... (can't remember any more)
Good-bye Old Paint
I'm a-leavin' Cheyenne
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Tomorrow I'll miss you
Remember I'll always be true
And then while I'm away
I'll write home everyday
And I'll send all my loving to you
The Beatles
(Sarah was playing the Across the Universe soundtrack in the car tonight...)
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that you're departin'.
I hope that you know I'll always care.
And while my poor feelings are still smartin',
I'm saying good-bye to you with my hair.

Leave the key in the old front door lock
They will find it likely as not
Along with all the things we have forgot

Oh and now she's heading out to California
And she doesn't know what's coming
But she sure knows what she's leaving behind
And she left a little letter
Said she's gonna make a stop in Nevada
Goodbye, goodbye
Stop In Nevada
Billy Joel
