I’m stuck on the backside of this mountain Where I live most of my days Wherever I’ll go, where the north wind might blow Will you think of me while I’m away?
While I’m away Tell me the truth Look in my eyes Before I leave you Who will you hold What will you do While I’m away? While I’m away
I’ve spent most of my lifetime Pushing lovers away But I’ll be damned if I don’t understand The way you feel while I’m away
While I’m away Tell me the truth Look in my eyes Before I leave you Who will you hold What will you do While I’m away? While I’m away
How long will I be gone? I really don’t know Will you hold on? Will you let go?
While I’m away Tell me the truth Look in my eyes Before I leave you Who will you hold What will you do While I’m away? Tell me the truth Look in my eyes Before I leave you
You’ll be in my heart I will love you While I’m away While I’m away
