Don’t Be Gone Too Long

[Verse 1]
I dug a single seed into the ground
I hope it grows, grows
In a year or two if you're around
You'll see a rose, rose
Pack me up and keep me hidden somewhere
That you can find me
On a train to Paris goin' nowhere
Draw the bridge behind me

[Chorus]
Don't be gone too long (Too long)
'Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone
Don't be gone too long (Too long)
Tell me, who's gonna love me when you're gone?

[Post-Chorus]
(Mm-mm)
(Mm-mm-mm)
When you're, when you're gone
(Mm-mm)
(Mm-mm-mm)
When you're gone

[Verse 2]
Golden leaves are dancing on the ground
It's getting cold, cold (Oh-oh)
Safe from time, we'll be forever young
Never old, old
See a ball of fire out in space
Zoomin' up behind me
All the wonder written on your face
Was there inside me

[Chorus]
Don't be gone too long (Too long)
'Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone
Don't be gone too long (Too long)
Tell me, who's gonna love me when you're gone?

[Post-Chorus]
(Mm-mm)
Oh, oh-woah-oh-oh
(Mm-mm-mm)
When you're, when you're gone
(Mm-mm)
Oh-oh, oh-woah
(Mm-mm-mm)
When you're gone

[Bridge]
Bring it back to me, bring it back to me
Is it really over?
Bring it back to me, bring it back to me
Is it over?
Bring it back to me, bring it back to me
Is it really over? (Yeah)
Bring it back to me, bring it back to me
(Woo!)

[Chorus]
Don't be gone too long (Too long, don't be gone)
(Is it really over?)
'Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Don't be gone too long (Too long, don't be gone)
(Is it really over?)
Tell me, who's gonna love me when you're gone?
Don't be gone too long (Too long)
(Is it really over?)
'Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone (Yeah-yeah, when it's over)
Don't be gone too long (Too long)
(Is it really over?)
Tell me, who's gonna love me when you're gone?
