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

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
