400 miles to go

In a month I will leave In a month the distance will go From a mile to 400 And I am not sure yet How our goodbyes will go How I will manage How I won't break How I won't try to tell you Over and over again Do not let me go gently into the good night *Do not Let me Go* And I am not sure yet If you decide to let me go Can I be strong enough to leave it be? In a month I will leave And I am not sure yet How my eyes will hold the ocean I held back for two years How my arms won't try to sneak behind your back for one last hug Before you let me go gently Into the good night
