When I'm Gone
I search the ruins of the world I call my own
In hopeless desperation
Now I make the journey home
I find that everything is not the way it was
You cannot fight the future
No you can't turn back the clock
The rain upon the mountains
The eagle in the sky
And the wolf and raven prowling all around
A broken cross will mark the holy ground
And when I'm gone
The world carries on
And you must carry on too
When I'm not around
Time won't stand still
Your memories will always be true
You've got to hold onto the dream that we once shared
Always be together
Although I am not there
I'll be beside you every step of every day
Though you cannot see me
Feel my presence on the way
The rain upon the mountains
The eagle in the sky
And the wolf and raven prowling all around
The broken cross will mark the holy ground
And when I'm gone
The world carries on
And you must carry on too
When I'm not around
Time won't stand still
Your memories will always be true
The rain upon the mountains
The eagle in the sky
And the wolf and raven prowling all around
The broken cross will mark the holy groud
And when I'm gone
The world carries on
And you must carry on too
When I'm not around
Time won't stand still
Your memories will always be true
And when I'm gone
The world carries on
And you must carry on too
When I'm not around
Time won't stand still
Your memories will always be true
In hopeless desperation
Now I make the journey home
I find that everything is not the way it was
You cannot fight the future
No you can't turn back the clock
The rain upon the mountains
The eagle in the sky
And the wolf and raven prowling all around
A broken cross will mark the holy ground
And when I'm gone
The world carries on
And you must carry on too
When I'm not around
Time won't stand still
Your memories will always be true
You've got to hold onto the dream that we once shared
Always be together
Although I am not there
I'll be beside you every step of every day
Though you cannot see me
Feel my presence on the way
The rain upon the mountains
The eagle in the sky
And the wolf and raven prowling all around
The broken cross will mark the holy ground
And when I'm gone
The world carries on
And you must carry on too
When I'm not around
Time won't stand still
Your memories will always be true
The rain upon the mountains
The eagle in the sky
And the wolf and raven prowling all around
The broken cross will mark the holy groud
And when I'm gone
The world carries on
And you must carry on too
When I'm not around
Time won't stand still
Your memories will always be true
And when I'm gone
The world carries on
And you must carry on too
When I'm not around
Time won't stand still
Your memories will always be true
