When He's Gone Songtext / Lyric

Stormy nights, and I've been waiting

Satisfy you, oh babe

But his love is just a game

And he's sellng you the same old lies



And I'm hangin' on the wire

And no closer to the fire

And you don't hear me when I cry



You may need someone to lean upon

When he's gone, when he's gone

And what is left is a love so strong

When he's gone, when he's gone



You wouldn't believe to what extent

My mind is going to

You wouldn't deny me in your dreams

You couldn't belong to someone else



If you could see me now

And I'd be the only one

When he's gone

When he's gone






My understanding that you remember

For whom the bell tolls, oh babe

I swear to you I pray

That you feel the battle rage

For the saving of my soul



And it's a struggle to survive

You know it's keepin' us alive

And baby I don't wanna die



I will be someone you lean upon

When he's gone, when he's gone

And what is left is a love so strong

When he's gone, when he's gone



You wouldn't believe to what extent

My mind is going to

You wouldn't deny me in your dreams

You couldn't belong to someone else



If you could see me now

And I'd be the only one

When he's gone

When he's gone

When he's gone



I will be someone you lean upon

When he's gone, when he's gone

(Don't tell me it's too late)

(Your love don't make me wait)



And what is left is a love so strong

When he's gone, when he's gone

(I can see the end of time)

(With a love that makes you mine)



I will be someone you lean upon

When he's gone, when he's gone

(And tonight I let you know)

(There's a love that won't let go)



When he's gone

When he's gone
