| I’m shaking like a leaf on a tree
|
| Do you understand, will you come with me?
|
| Don’t make a sound, don’t even breathe
|
| They’ll understand, why don’t we leave?
|
| We can steal a ride on a bus
|
| Drive down a road all covered in dust
|
| Head north by northwest 'til we reach the coast
|
| We’ll find an address that don’t get the post
|
| When she’s gone
|
| Even though she won’t be long
|
| It just tears my world apart
|
| Puts a hole right through my heart
|
| She let me see her new tattoo
|
| It was my name written in blue
|
| A mark of pain across her chest
|
| I was the lover on her breast
|
| So come with me and don’t be afraid
|
| We could be free out of the shade
|
| Your life has begun, come on lets run
|
| Over the ground in an air raid
|
| We’ve got the gun, don’t be afraid
|
| Only when this girl has gone
|
| Will I know if I am wrong
|
| Who would choose a life of one?
|
| I can’t carry on when she’s gone
|
| Only when this girl has gone |
