Song des Tages: Only When You're Gone

(Madrugada: "Only When You're Gone", aus dem Album "The Nightly Disease", 2001)

Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
And away
Only when you're gone

Gonna need a hammer and nails
To construct this bitter love song
This cruel testamented song
That rings out only when you're gone

Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
And away
Only when you're gone

Rude are the tongues of love
That speak of mercy for us all
And leave us only with a song
And leave us only with a song
Now it's a cold and hollow whisper
That consumes my body when you're gone

Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
And away
Only when you're gone

And it's only when you're gone and away
Your ghost runs through me in that special way
It's a nice old town, my hometown
Come for the darkness of this prison cell
I love you long and I love you well

So bury me in the kitchen
Bury me at the store
Oh, bury me everywhere you go
In the shadows of the hallway
Oh, for we do no longer know
What we can no longer hold
On days like these our heads fill up with smoke
And our memories grow old

Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
And away
Only when you're gone

And gone away
And gone away
