Like an empty shell
Like a fruitless tree
Unlike myself before
Ghosts of the past come rescue me
Like a wounded stray
Like a blinding tear
Unlike myself before
Ghosts of the past come set me free
My ghosts of the past come home to me
Don't cry, don't you lie down don't say goodbye
Don't cry, don't you kneel down don't waste a prayer
When I'm gone, when I'm gone, like a fading dream
When I'm gone, will you be closer to me
When I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
And life goes on and on and on
Don't cry, don't say goodbye
I gave you my heart, I traded my soul
Through shades of love, you gave me it all
But when I fall, will you forgive me
When I'm gone, when I'm gone, like a fading dream
When I'm gone, will you be closer to me
When I am gone, I am gone, like a fading dream
When I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
And life goes on and on and on
When I'm gone and life goes on
When I'm gone and life goes on
