"When You're Gone" lyrics

"When You're Gone"

I am sitting in the midnight alone
Can't bring myself to pick up the phone
So I'm picking through a banjo tune I learned from you

I wish, I wish I could forget Atlanta in that hard August sweat
I asked you for a favor you ain't let me down yet
Ain't let me down yet

The songs you loved to sing they are still ringing in my ears
The love you gave to me I am still holding on to all of these years

I'll burn this little satchel before long
The smoke will rise and carry on
I am gonna miss you when you're gone
When you're gone

The songs you loved to sing they are still ringing in my ears
The love you gave to me I am still holding on to all of these years
