(Just click on the graphic above to listen)This song was written at a time of loss.
There are some that believe that this was
written about a man who leaves a woman.
More than one person asked me....
"Gee Barb, if you are a gay woman,
how could you have written about a man leaving you?
(yes, I have had people actually say that!)
The "true" meaning of the song, was not a man leaving a woman.
"When He Leaves" was about a dog going to his resting place.
I remember vividly the day my Dad walked out of our house
with our dog under his arm, and the little feller looking back at me.
THAT is how this song came to be.
