While I'm Away

I'm stuck on the backside of this mountain

Where I live most of my days

Wherever I'll go, where the north wind might blow

Will you think of me while I'm away?

While I'm away

Tell me the truth

Look in my eyes

Before I leave you

Who will you hold

What will you do

While I'm away?

While I'm away

I've spent most of my lifetime

Pushing lovers away

But I'll be damned if I don't understand

The way you feel while I'm away

While I'm away

Tell me the truth

Look in my eyes

Before I leave you

Who will you hold

What will you do

While I'm away?

While I'm away

How long will I be gone?

I really don't know

Will you hold on?

Will you let go?

While I'm away

Tell me the truth

Look in my eyes

Before I leave you

Who will you hold

What will you do

While I'm away?

Tell me the truth

Look in my eyes

Before I leave you

You'll be in my heart

I will love you

While I'm away

While I'm away
