You'll Miss It When It's Gone
These nights have been so long
I couldn't be much farther from home
I used to know you I used to feel
That things could be different
But that time is gone
The withered flowers
And the mountainside
The last sliver of summer
Don't you close your eyes
You'll miss it
You'll miss it when it's gone
These days have not been your own
The time has come for you to pay back your ghost
They'll never leave you alone
There's nothing left but just a guess where they've flown
Open your windows
And drink in the light
The first moon of this winter
Don't you close your eyes
You'll miss it
You'll miss it when it's gone
To all you weary travelers
Don't believe everything you've heard
Just play the music and sing the songs
With all the friends you've been leaning on
You'll miss it
You'll miss it when it's gone
