When I`m Gone — текст песни (Ochs Phil)

Phil Ochs
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
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 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
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
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
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
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 into the fight while I`m gone
So I guess I`ll have to do it while I`m here
And 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
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
And you won`t find me singin` on this song when I`m gone while I`m here
So I guess I`ll have to do it
I guess I`ll have to do it
Guess I`ll have to do it while I`m here
