Album: Love And Fear (2012)

When I'm Gone

I saw my life as an hourglass?
A grain of sand was an hour passed?
And you were there standing next to me?
Against the walls of eternity ?
You turned to me but I looked away?
The saddest word written on your face

?And I couldn't say what I was waiting for?
So I felt the walls for an open door
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

When I awoke, you were next to me?
I held my breath; you were still asleep?
As I remembered the strangest dream
?It came together and came to me

?That I never knew what you were looking for?
So I kept my eye on that open door

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Gonna miss me when I'm gone

Here's a word that never was spoken?
Here's a promise you should have broken
?I took the blame then next you were leaving?
I pour a drink to block out the feeling?
On a bus away from the city?
Headed east across the country?
Hit the coast, and I started laughing
?You're going to miss me when I'm gone

Don't you ever think you were unworthy ?
I took the blame when I took a bow?

I am alone for the rest of my journey?
However long I will be allowed

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone.
