From the recording Life and Depth
Lyrics
When You're Gone
The sound of the silence is stronger than the storm
and your heart's umbrella just can't keep you warm.
Maybe this time, it won't go so long.
Honey, I miss you when you’re gone.
Sittin right beside me with that look in your eyes
like no one could be in there at all.
You never walk out the door
but you're sometimes never home.
Honey, i miss you when you're gone.
I know you wanna run around like rodeo a clown
but makeup's hard to put on when the tears are coming down.
Hold on to my hand, we’ll ride this through
and tomorrow might bring a brighter shade of blue.
Sittin right beside me with that look in your eyes
like no one could be in there at all.
You never walk out the door
but you're sometimes never home.
Honey, i miss you when you're gone.
I’ll see you on the other side of that wall.
I’ll make you big, when you're feeling small...
They say you can't understand the light til you've lived in the dark
and nothing is louder than prayers from a whispering heart.
Seek for that old path with your heavy load
and we'll find God, where the rubber hits the road.
Sittin right beside me with that look in your eyes
like no one could be in there at all.
You never walk out the door
but you're sometimes never home.
Honey, i miss you when you're gone.
