Miss You When You're Gone

Good morning now, little singing bird

It's been a while since your song's been heard

I've got your coffee and your breakfast made

I miss you so, I sure hope you can stay, hey, hey

I want to hear about the places you've been

And the people you've met

Won't you tell me again?

How you lost your way

When you found the wind, babe

I don't know what to say

I miss you when you're gone

I miss you when you're gone, gone, gone

Out there singing that traveling song

Oh, spreading your wings just in time for spring

I know it won't last long

I miss you when you're gone

Won't you tell me about the time back in Kathmandu

When they stole your purse, had to sell your shoes?

Then you met a monk who had nothing left to lose

He was born in Mississippi at the bottom of the blues

Or that time that you set out to slay the dragon in the woods

Turns out, he's not so bad, just a little misunderstood

On the curve of the earth, in the haze of the good wine

Tell me little bird, was I ever on your mind?

'Cause I miss you when you're gone, gone, gone

Out there singing that traveling song

Oh, spreading your wings just in time for spring

I know it won't last long

I miss you when you're gone

I hate it when you go, but you know I'd never say so

Out there in the sky, am I ever on your mind, love?

'Cause I miss you when you're gone, gone, gone

Gone, gone, gone

Oh, spreading your wings just in time for spring

I know it won't last long

I miss you when you're gone (Gone, gone, gone)

I miss you when you're gone (Gone, gone, gone)

Oh, cutting a rug with those lighting bugs

I know it won't last long

I miss you when you're gone (Gone, gone, gone)

(Gone, gone, gone)

(Gone, gone, gone)

I know it won't last long

But I miss you when you're gone
