When I'm Gone Lyrics - 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
