While I'm Gone

i wouldn’t like to leave her
but i gotta go
take my guitar and a sleeping bag
step from that door
and she won’t try to stop me
'coz she knows me too well
will you look out for her while i’m gone?
she knows, this is what i do
i gotta get up, get up, get up
or i fall down
where’d you go
when the lights go out
and how do you know
when evening falls so hard on you
i’m coming home
yeah it keeps me together
but it keeps us apart
i know it doesn’t make it alright
but you knew it from the very start
i sometimes forget to call you
but i never forget the songs
but please don’t forget me while i’m gone
she knows, this is what i do
i gotta get up, get up, get up
or i fall down
where’d you go
when the lights go out
and how do you know
what it’s all about
where’d you go
when the lights go out
and how do you know
when evening falls so hard on you
i’m coming home
