Only When You're Gone Songtext

von Madrugada

(Chorus)
Only when you're gone

I'm gonna need a hammer and nails
To construct this bitter lovesong
This crude testament in song
That rings out only when you're gone

(Chorus)

Rude are the tongues of love
That speak of mercy for us all
And leave us only with a song
And leave us only with a song
Now there's a cold and hollow whisper
Whisper
That consumes my body when you're gone

(Chorus)

And it's only when you're gone
And away
Your ghost moves through me in that special way
And it's a nice hotel
My hotel
Come fill the darkness of this prison cell
I'll love you long
And I'll love you
Well

So bury me in the kitchen
Bury me at the store
Bury me everywhere you go
In the shadows of the hallway
Ah for we do no longer know
What we can no longer hold
On days like these our heads fill up with smoke
And our memories grow old

(Cohrus)
