I dug a single seed into the ground, I hope it grows, grows
In a year or two if you’re around, you’ll see a rose, rose
Pack me up and keep me hidden somewhere, that you can find me
On a train to Paris going nowhere, draw the bridge behind me

Don’t be gone too long (Too long)
‘Cause you won’t be there to love me when you’re gone
Don’t be gone too long (Too long)
Tell me who’s gonna love me when you’re gone?

(Mm-mm)
(Mm-mm-mm)
When you’re, when you’re gone
(Mm-mm)
(Mm-mm-mm)
When you’re gone

Golden leaves are dancing on the ground, it’s getting cold, cold (Oh-oh)
Safe from time, we’ll be forever young, never old, old
See a ball of fire out in space, zooming up behind me
All the wonder written on your face, was there inside me

Don’t be gone too long (Too long)
‘Cause you won’t be there to love me when you’re gone
Don’t be gone too long (Too long)
Tell me who’s gonna love me when you’re gone?

(Mm-mm)
Oh, oh-whoa-oh-oh
(Mm-mm-mm)
When you’re, when you’re gone
(Mm-mm)
Oh-oh, oh-whoa
(Mm-mm-mm)
When you’re gone

Bring it back to me, bring it back to me
Is it really over?
Bring it back to me, bring it back to me
Is it over?
Bring it back to me, bring it back to me
Is it really over? Yeah
Bring it back to me, bring it back to me
Woo!

Don’t be gone too long (Too long, don’t be gone)
(Is it really over?)
‘Cause you won’t be there to love me when you’re gone (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Don’t be gone too long (Too long, don’t be gone)
(Is it really over?)
Tell me who’s gonna love me when you’re gone?
Don’t be gone too long (Too long)
(Is it really over?)
‘Cause you won’t be there to love me when you’re gone (Yeah-yeah, when it’s over)
Don’t be gone too long (Too long)
(Is it really over?)
Tell me who’s gonna love me when you’re gone?
