Lyrics
Awake before sunrise
Sweep the woodsmoke from my eyes
Jenny sings from the yellow wood
And I reply from an empty room
We grieve for the autumn
Leaves that rain as I'm walking
Through the dawn to the waterside
A hopeful cast, a line well tied
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
When I'm gone I'll be forgotten
Flowing water, rising sun
Hollow bones as white as cotton
She waits in the water
Long have I been courting her
Searching under a silver sheet
A glimpse of gold, a missing beat
She breaks from the darkness
Pure and bright in her gracefulness
She's caught at last by the early light
A parting glance, then out of sight
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
When I'm gone I'll be forgotten
Flowing water, rising sun
Hollow bones as white as cotton
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
When I'm gone I'll be forgotten
Flowing water, rising sun
Hollow bones as white as cotton
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
When I'm gone I'll be forgotten
Flowing water, rising sun
Hollow bones as white as cotton
