When I’m Gone Eric Andersen

[Verse 1]
There's no place in this world where I'll belong, when I'm gone
And 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 while I'm here

[Verse 2]
And I won't feel the flowing of the time, when I'm gone
All the pleasures of love will not be mine, when I'm gone
My pen won't pour a lyric line, when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 3]
And I won't breathe the brandy air, when I'm gone
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

[Verse 4]
And I won't be running from the rain, when I'm gone
Can't even suffer from the pain, when I'm gone
Nothing I can lose or I can gain, when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 5]
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
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
