When He's Gone lyrics

Stormy nights, and I've been waiting
Satisfy you, oh babe
But his love is just a game
And he's sellng you the same old lies

And I'm hangin' on the wire
And no closer to the fire
And you don't hear me when I cry

You may need someone to lean upon
When he's gone, when he's gone
And what is left is a love so strong
When he's gone, when he's gone

You wouldn't believe to what extent
My mind is going to
You wouldn't deny me in your dreams
You couldn't belong to someone else

If you could see me now
And I'd be the only one
When he's gone
When he's gone

My understanding that you remember
For whom the bell tolls, oh babe
I swear to you I pray
That you feel the battle rage
For the saving of my soul

And it's a struggle to survive
You know it's keepin' us alive
And baby I don't wanna die

I will be someone you lean upon
When he's gone, when he's gone
And what is left is a love so strong
When he's gone, when he's gone

You wouldn't believe to what extent
My mind is going to
You wouldn't deny me in your dreams
You couldn't belong to someone else

If you could see me now
And I'd be the only one
When he's gone
When he's gone
When he's gone

I will be someone you lean upon
When he's gone, when he's gone
(Don't tell me it's too late)
(Your love don't make me wait)

And what is left is a love so strong
When he's gone, when he's gone
(I can see the end of time)
(With a love that makes you mine)

I will be someone you lean upon
When he's gone, when he's gone
(And tonight I let you know)
(There's a love that won't let go)

When he's gone
When he's gone
