Leaves are on the ground Fall has come Blue skies turning grey Like my love I tried to carry you And make you whole But it was never enough I must go And who is gonna save you When I'm gone? And who'll watch over you When I'm gone? You say you care for me But hide it well How can you love someone And not yourself? And who is gonna save you When I'm gone? And who'll watch over you When I'm gone? And when I'm gone Who will break your fall? Who will you blame? I can't go on Let you lose it all It's more than I can take Who'll ease your pain? Ease your pain And who is gonna save you When I'm gone? And who'll watch over you And I will give you strength When you're not strong Who'll watch over you When I'm gone away? Snow is on the ground Winters come You long to hear my voice But I'm long gone
