When Somebody’s Gone Songtext
von Carsie Blanton

You wake up in the early morning
Pour yourself a cup of something sweet
Then you go out in the air and
See what′s growin in the early summer heat
Somewhere a broken record's playin
Memories like half-forgotten songs
When somebody′s gone

You stack up all the books and papers
Photographs and stories that you know
Then you pack up all the boxes and you sweep the floor
And then it's time to go
Take all the things they saved and treasured
Put em in a pile on the lawn
When somebody's gone


They say your heart won′t always hurt
But they don′t say how long
Ain't it strange the body turns to dirt
While love goes on and on
When somebody′s gone

Every day the sun goes down
And something comes to serve as a reminder
Of all the things you coulda said and done
If you were just a little kinder
It's plain to see that kindness
Was the only thing that mattered all along
When somebody′s gone

They say your heart won't always hurt
But they don′t say how long
Ain't it strange the body turns to dirt
While love goes on and on
When somebody's gone
