When I'm Gone
Words & Music by Phil Ochs
As performed by Allison Crowe
There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
And you won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
I won't feel the flowing of the time when I'm gone
And all the pleasures of love will not be mine when I'm gone
My pen won't pour out a lyric line when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
And I won't breathe the bracing air when I am gone
And I won't even worry 'bout my cares when I'm gone
And I won't be asked to do my share when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
And I won't be running from the rain when I am gone
I can't even suffer from the pain when I am gone
I can't say who's to praise and who's to blame when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
And Ion't see the golden of the sun when I am gone
And the evenings and the mornings will be one when I am gone
I can't be singing louder than the guns when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
