lyrics

Miss Me When I’m Gone (Jeff Rogers)

Four walls and a blanket for my pillow
There's a damp wind that chills me to the bone
It blows across the water from old Frisco
On this lonely rock that I call home
There's mistakes I did make as a young man
For which I never did atone
The verdict was clear, now its' 20 long years
That I'm stuck here, without you dear, all alone

And I miss my father, and I miss my mother
And I miss you darling, my dearest lover
But tell me who's gonna miss me when I'm gone,
Oh tell me dear, will you miss me when I’m gone

Gazing thru the bars, I can see the evening star
Rising as the day begins to fade
And the setting sun casts a bloody shadow
On the graveyard where the broken bodies lay
Now the walk down Broadway here is a short one
From the mess hall to solitary row
And I don’t expect your forgiveness
Cause I’m killin’ time for killing another lost soul

At night I hear the sounds of happy laughter
Echo on the water ‘cross the bay
Reminding me of you on Christmas eve dear
So near and yet so far away, from these
Four walls and a blanket for my pillow
And the damp wind that chills me to the bone
That blows across the water from old Frisco
On this lonely rock that I call home.
