A Song For While I'm Away (Lynott)



These words I wrote, play and sing to you

Do not convey the love I brought and bring to you

For this is a song for while I'm away

To say all the things I'd love to say



You are my life, my everything, you're all I have

You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true

You're all I have

Please heed me now these words I have to say



Now I'm headed for the border

You see this song it ends right at the start

I swore when I was younger

No one would win my heart



And far away hills look greener still

But soon they'll all slip away

It's then I'll be returning

And I'll be coming home to stay



You are my life, my everything, you're all I have

You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true

You're all I have

Please heed me now these words I have to say
