When I'm Gone - Thea Gilmore
There's no place in this world
Where I'll belong when I'm gone
I won't know the right from the wrong
When I'm gone
And you won't find me singin' on this song
When I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
And I won't breathe the bracing air
When I'm gone
And I can't even worry 'bout my cares
When I'm gone
Won't be asked to do my share
When I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
And I won't be running from the rain
When I'm gone
And I can't even suffer from the pain
When I'm gone
I can't say who's to praise and who's to blame
When I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
Won't see the golden of the sun
When I'm gone
And the evenings and the mornings will be one
When I'm gone
I can't be singing louder than the guns
When I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
And all my days won't be dances of delight
When I'm gone
And the sands will be shifting from my sight
When I'm gone
Can't add my name to the fight
While I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
I won't be laughing at the lies
When I'm gone
And I can't question how or when or why
When I'm gone
Can't live proud enough to die
When I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
And there's no place in this world where I'll belong
When I'm gone
I won't know the right from the wrong
When I'm gone
You won't find me singin' on this song
When I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it
I guess I'll have to do it
I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
