While I'm Gone
They came for me
in the early early morning
when everyone
was fast asleep
Didn't know what to do,
didn't want them to hurt you,
so I knew I had to leave
They were unstoppable,
they are the world.
But then I saw you
for the last time.
I heard you call to me
and then I see
you were pointing to the sky
I never did give up
after I saw you there
pointing to the sky
and I'll miss you
while I'm gone.
You would never believe
what it was like there
firing's every night.
No notches in my boots
Just thinking about you
and trying to survive.
They were unstoppable,
they are the world.
But then I remember you,
hear you calling to me,
pointing to the sky
I never did give up
after I saw you there
pointing to the sky
and I'll miss you
while I'm gone.
Striving, trying
to remember
what the Hill
felt like
with you and me
Striving, trying
to remember
how it felt
when you were with me
Striving, trying
to remember
the exact words
that you spoke
to
me.
Do not go gently...
I won't go gently.
But I'll miss you
while I'm gone.
