The Innocence Mission

Lyrics

I Left the Grounds

I have turned around

I'm walking back to join the choir

Leaves are flying through the sky

There's a hidden life

There's a life that no one knows

There are things that can't be told

And Sister Michael didn't know

I've never said a word to her

It's not her fault

But it was getting hard enough

To be around

I left the grounds
