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

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
