I'll Be Gone
It’s when the summer comes, I’ll be goneAnd when the thaw’s upon us, I’ll be goneWhen o’er the meadow, the clouds break up a littleIt’s when that moment comes, I’ll be gone.
When spring has filled the air, I’ll be goneAnd cupid has made his pairs, I’ll be goneAnd when the waiting’s by, and I’ve grown some rubies in your eyeIt’s just when that moment’s come, I’ll be gone.
I’ll be in the wind, you know itSo far away.It’s just been the meaning since thepaving of the way.
It’s all right to laugh about it.No harm in saying”It’s just the lot I’m owning”Aching all the same
And it’s when the summer comes, I’ll be gone.And when you hear my song, I’ll be gone.When o’er the meadow, your love flies with the riddlesIt’s when that moment comes, I’ll be gone.
