When Im Gone
Phil Ochs
[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
And I won't feel the flowing of the time, when I'm gone
All the pleasures of love will not be mine, when I'm gone
My pen won't pour a lyric line, when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 3]
And I won't breathe the bracing air, when I'm gone
And I can't even worry 'bout my cares, when I'm gone
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

[Verse 4]
And I won't be running from the rain, when I'm gone
And I can't even suffer from the pain, when I'm gone
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
[Verse 5]
Won't see the golden of the sun, when I'm gone
And the evenings and the mornings will be one, when I'm gone
Can't be singing louder than the guns, while I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 6]
All my days won't be dances of delight, when I'm gone
And the sands will be shifting from my sight, when I'm gone
Can't add my name into the fight, while I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 7]
And I won't be laughing at the lies, when I'm gone
And I can't question how or when or why, when I'm gone
Can't live proud enough to die, when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 8]
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
I guess I'll have to do it
Guess I'll have to do it
While I'm here
