Only When You're Gone
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
And away
Only when you're gone
I'm gonna need a hammer and nails
To construct this bitter lovesong
This crude testament in song
That rings out only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
And away
Only when you're gone
Oh
Rude are the tongues of love
That speak of mercy for us all
And leave us only with a song
And leave us only with a song
Now there's a cold and hollow whisper
Whisper
That consumes my body when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
And away
Only when you're gone
Oh
And it's only when you're gone
And away
Your ghost moves through me in that special way
And it's a nice hotel
My hotel
Come fill the darkness of this prison cell
I'll love you long
And I'll love you
Well
So bury me in the kitchen
Bury me at the store
Oh, bury me everywhere you go
In the shadows of the hallway
Ah, for we do no longer know
What we can no longer hold
On days like these our heads fill up with smoke
And our memories grow old
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
And away
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only, only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
And away
Only when you're gone
Gone away
And gone away
Oh
