When She's Gone Lyrics

I'm shaking like a leaf on a tree
do you understand,
will you come with me
don't make a sound
don't even breathe
they'll understand
why don't we leave
We can steal a ride on a
bus drive down a road
all covered in dust
head north by north west
till we reach the coast
we'll find an address
that don't get the post

When she's gone
even though she won't be long
it just tears my world apart
puts a hole right through my heart
She let me see her new tattoo
it was my name written in blue
a mark of pain across her chest
I was the lover on her breast

So come with me and don't be afraid
we could be free out of the shade
your life has begun
come on lets run
over the ground
in an air raid
we've got the gun
don't be afraid

When she's gone
even though she won't be long
it just tears my world apart
puts a hole right through my heart
Only when this girl has gone
will I know if I am wrong
who would choose a life of one
I can't carry on
when she's gone.
