It's time to go, Jenny, no need to close the door
                      C                G             Bm   C     Am
What if the dust gets in the house? It doesn't matter any more
                      D               G            C      Am
You and the dust have been at war for far too many years
                              D
But now the war is over, Jenny dear

Remember when I brought you here, those long, bright years ago
                         C                  G             Bm      C     Am
For all that time you've been my heart, and this land has been my soul
                          D             G                     C   Am
The long, bright days are over now, but still the heart beats on
                         D
But, Jenny dear, the soul is gone

It's time to go, Jenny, drive quickly down the track
                     C             G          Bm      C     Am
We'll never see what lies ahead if we keep on looking back
                  D               G            C        Am
Behind is just an empty house, old memories and ghosts
                              D
And our small dream gathering dust
