I'll Be Gone

I watch as you take off your clothes and slip under the sheets

Then I turn and kick the boots off my feet

I pull you close without a word 'cause there's no need to speak

Girl, beauty like yours is hard to beat

But I'll be gone in the morning, in the morning I'll be gone

'Cause I'm not one for hanging on

Please don't think that you done something wrong

In the morning when you wake and find me gone

Just a look from those fiery eyes can all but erase

The memory of any other's face

And the passion they unleash could cause me to misplace

And lose all track of time without a trace

But I'll be gone in the morning, in the morning I'll be gone

'Cause I'm not one for hanging on

Please don't think that you done something wrong

In the morning when you wake and find me gone

The sun intrudes and throws across the room its golden tracks

Shake the dreams, now it's back to facts

As I turn to leave I know you had what so many lack

Maybe some day that'll bring me back

But I'll be gone in the morning, in the morning I'll be gone

'Cause I'm not one for hanging on

Please don't think that you done something wrong

In the morning when you wake and find me gone

But I'll be gone in the morning, in the morning I'll be gone

'Cause I'm not one for hanging on

Please don't think that you done something wrong

In the morning when you wake and find me gone

In the morning when you wake and find me gone
