Benjamin Orr: When you're gone [lyrics]

Benjamin Orr

When you're gone

Rain keeps pounding without a break

Competin' with the hollow ache

Even now

I can't imagine what you're doin'

When you're not around

A shaky thought to wrestle down

I need you now

(When you're gone)

You gotta know that

Everything is turnin' me upside down

(For so long)

You gotta see that

Confusion's spinning me around

(When you're gone)

You gotta know that

The feelin' is that everything is lost, you see

When you're gone

Shadows reachin' long across the floor

Wishing you were at the door

You know it's insanity

You always keep leavin' me

Walkin' around one room to the next

Rememberin' the very best

It's startin' to get to me

You always keep leavin' me

(When you're gone)

You gotta know that

Everything is turnin' me upside down

(For so long)

You gotta see that

Confusion's spinning me around

(When you're gone)

You gotta know that

The feelin' is that everything is lost, you see

When you're gone

And 'cause it's so strong

It's that much harder

I'm feelin' so alone

When I need to hold you

And feel the magic

You've been away so long

Yeah, yeah

Well, if it isn't enough

How can I make it more?

Thought we've been through this all before

Here we go one more time

And rain keeps poundin' without a break

Competin' with the hollow ache

I need you now

(When you're gone)

You gotta know that

Everything is turnin' me upside down

(For so long)

You gotta see that

Confusion's spinning me around

(When you're gone)

You gotta know that

The feelin' is that everything is lost, you see

When you're gone

So long

(When you're gone)

You gotta know that

Everything is turnin' me upside down

(For so long)

You gotta see that

Confusion's spinning me around

(When you're gone)

You gotta know that

The feelin' is that everything is lost, you see

When you're gone
