A wrenching song about trying to survive the after effects of a relationship breaking up.
- When You'Re Gone
- Words And Music By:
- Cheryl Wheeler
- I read the paper turn on the news
- And wear the floors out wonderin' what to do - oh
- The sun is bright but it doesn't shine
- I try to fight it but it happens every time
- (Chorus)
- When you're gone day is night
- When you're gone it's an uphill fight
- When you're gone baby nothin' nothin's right
- I'm goin' crazy sinkin' like a stone
- My friends are calling sayin don't sit home alone but
- It's not the same with anybody else
- It won't be long 'till I'm talkin' to myself
- (Repeat Chorus)
- So I watch that clock on the wall not movin' at all
- Just frozen in time
- And I don't mind letting you know I'm ready to go
- Right out of my mind
- The morning after the night before
- It's hard to tell the difference anymore
- Instead of growing stronger I'm just getting weak
- Instead of killin' time I think it's killin' me
- (Repeat Chorus)
