Will Varley When You're Gone song lyrics

Well her eyes were as wild as the Cornish storm

But her heart like a cliff's all battered and worn

Well we met in the Spring when she fits like a glove

And I'd bring her the roses like a Noah's dove

But the madness of youth is the cardinal sin

I left her in the garden as the Autumn set in

She said "Oh I'll be lonesome when you're gone"

"I'll be lonesome"

"I'll be lonesome when you're gone, when you're gone"

Well I travelled across the ocean onto Wicklow Street

There was more there to smoke than there was there to eat

And the alleyways turned into hell and fire

All of their eyes burned in one cold desire

And the view from our eyes began to feel so tight

I woke up in the morning with the neon lights

And from the horns of the taxis to the crashing of the sea

The words that she said kept on holding me

She said "Oh I'll be lonesome when you're gone"

"I'll be lonesome"

"I'll be lonesome when you're gone, when you're gone"

Well her eyes were as wild as the Cornish storm

But now her heart like the cliff's all battered and worn

Now I'm heading back home to where the ships come in

And I'm counting the stars now for all of my sin

And I'm hopin' and I'm prayin' as I'm walking down the street

That she's waiting in the garden with the roses at her feet

Singing "Oh I'll be lonesome when you're gone"

"I'll be lonesome"

"I'll be lonesome when you're gone"

"Oh I'll be lonesome when you're gone"

"I'll be lonesome"

"I'll be lonesome when you're gone, when you're gone"
