When He’s Gone

Stormy nights,
and I’ve been waiting
satisfy you,
oh babe.

But his love is just a game
and he’s sellng you the same
old lies.

And I’m hanging on the wire.
And no closer to the fire.
And you don’t hear me when I cry.

You may need someone to lean upon
when he’s gone, when he’s gone.
And what is left is a love so strong
when he’s gone, when he’s gone.

You wouldn’t believe to what extent my mind is going to.
You wouldn’t deny me in your dreams.
You couldn’t belong to someone else if you could see me now.

And I’d be the only one (oh babe)
when he’s gone (oh babe),
when he’s gone.

My understanding
that you remember
for whom the bell tolls,
oh babe.

I swear to you I pray
that you feel the battle rage
for the saving of my soul.

And it’s a struggle to survive.
You know it’s keeping us alive (oh babe).
And, baby, I don’t wanna die.

I will be someone you lean upon
when he’s gone (I can see the end of time),
when he’s gone (with a love that makes you mine).
And what is left is a love so strong
when he’s gone (and tonight I let you know),
when he’s gone (there’s a love that won’t let go).

You wouldn’t believe to what extent my mind is going to.
You wouldn’t deny me in your dreams.
You couldn’t belong to someone else if you could see me now.

And I’d be the only one (oh babe)
when he’s gone.
When he’s gone (oh baby).
When he’s gone.

I will be someone you lean upon
when he’s gone (Don’t tell me it’s too late),
when he’s gone (and your love don’t make me wait.).
And what is left is a love so strong
when he’s gone (I can see the end of time),
when he’s gone (with a love that makes you mine).

I will be someone you lean upon
when he’s gone….
