When You Go

I see things inside my mind

The things Samson saw after he went blind

There are many things I don’t prefer to know

We walked the dog and skinned the cat

You wore my coat, I wore your hat

You’re going to make me cry when you go

Moonlight hour in the west

I’m with the gypsy woman I love best

I can feel the fire down below

You threw me out and hooked me up

With a magic trick and a golden cup

You’re going to make me cry when you go

The play was over before I knew it

My part was easy, I walked right through it

There are things I never knew that I now know 

Do these sleeping pills belong to you?

I say as you sleep, I take one too

You’re going to make me cry when you go

A fleeting wish brushed past my face

I’ve never seen it in this place

Funny how the moonlight makes things glow

My brain bleeds and my body aches 

I just don’t want my heart to break

You’re going to make me cry when you go

Jesus was able to move the stone

You can’t even pick up the telephone

I saw your little footprints in the snow

Speak to him but not to me

When I close my eyes it’s only you I see 

You’re going to make me cry when you go

I don’t tell and I don’t ask

I wear the deceitful good man mask

I’m all covered up from head to toe

We’re so alike you and I

Restless beneath this swirling sky

You’re going to make me cry when you go.
