I can barely speak I can hardly talk I can't lift a thing Can barely think Can hardly walk Was it all a dream Shooting through the park Searching for the moon To hold you in the dark Cause I can't be there when you need me there If I'm gone, If I'm gone I'll always be there if you need to share But you don't want me there So I'm gone Struck out through the woods Crossing county lines Over mountain peaks Deep into the wild Carving through the roots Made myself a room And laid amidst the pines If I can't be there when you need me there Then I'm gone, then I'm gone I'll always be there if you need to share But you don't want me there So I'm gone And in the canyons where I've made my bed I'll leave a light on I'll leave a light on Not fear, but hope, you'll find me there I leave a light on I leave a light on I fear i'll be a better man when i'm gone when I'm gone And I fear i'll be a better friend when i'm gone when I'm gone And I fear i'll be a better man when i'm gone when I'm gone But I'll leave the light on I'll leave the light on I'll leave the light on I'll leave the light on
