"See You Later, I'm Gone" lyrics

The summer leaves are turning brown
They're hanging loose on every limb
And pretty soon they'll flutter down
The summer sun is growing dim

And now you know the thoughts I own
They're all that keep me feeling fine
But every longing's for my home
And it's my home that's on my mind
See you later, I'm gone

The time has come and I must be leaving
See you later
See you later
See you later, I'm gone

Your summer smile has left me sad
And though it's here, it's not for me
But if it was, would I be glad?
But if it was, would I feel good?

To chase the wind as sea goes black
To where the greener trees have grown
Where every thought of love won't die
And every longing's for my home

See you later, I'm gone
The time has come and I must be leaving
See you later
See you later
See you later, I'm gone

See you later, I'm gone
The time has come and I must be leaving
See you later
See you later
See you later, I'm gone
