When you're gone,
And I'm far away,
I hear the silence,
and the slow decay,
Of faith, and the way I see
And the things I believe
Rear their heads and gnash their teeth
At me, and I wanna scream
And run away to a better place
Where the sunshine hits your face
For me to appreciate
your grace

And I'm filled with these images
Of a happy life and care-free innocence
I can almost taste the vividness
Where life would pass without incidence
Sun up, sun down, synchronous
Rid the plague of ambivalence,

Let me fly away
