While I'm Away

(album: Western Gold - 2019)

I'm stuck on the backside of this mountain
Where I live most of my days
Wherever I'll go, where the north wind might blow
Will you think of me while I'm away?

While I'm away
Tell me the truth
Look in my eyes
Before I leave you
Who will you hold
What will you do
While I'm away?
While I'm away

I've spent most of my lifetime
Pushing lovers away
But I'll be damned if I don't understand
The way you feel while I'm away

While I'm away
Tell me the truth
Look in my eyes
Before I leave you
Who will you hold
What will you do
While I'm away?
While I'm away

How long will I be gone?
I really don't know
Will you hold on?
Will you let go?

While I'm away
Tell me the truth
Look in my eyes
Before I leave you
Who will you hold
What will you do
While I'm away?
Tell me the truth
Look in my eyes
Before I leave you

You'll be in my heart
I will love you
While I'm away
While I'm away
