When I'm Gone Songtext

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 singing on this song when I'm gone So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here My days won't be dances of delight when I'm gone The sands will be shifting from my sight when I'm gone Can't add my name into the fight when I'm gone So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here I won't see the flowing of the time when I'm gone The joys of love will not be mine when I'm gone My pen won't pour a lyric rhyme when I'm gone So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here I won't breath the bracing air when I'm gone I won't be worried about my cares when I'm gone Can't be asked to do my share when I'm gone So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here I won't be running from the rain when I'm gone Won't even suffer from the pain when I'm gone 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 I won't see the golden of the sun when I'm gone The evenings and the mornings will be one when I'm gone 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 I won't be laughing at the lies when I'm gone I won't question where 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
