Once I'M Gone

Oh, don't be scared, the sky's not breaking
It's just the wind and rain
Oh, I'm not scared, mother
Can't you hear he calls my name?

Oh boy, the sky's not speaking
And the wind will never learn your name
Oh no, you're wrong, mother
And the wind and I, I think we'll run away

Once I'm gone, dream of me
The wind in my hair and sun at my feet
I'll run with rain and fall with wild things
Sing to it all as it sings to me
But that'll be then

Oh, don't be a fool, my boy, I tire of these tales
The wind is only wind and hails only hail
Oh, I don't care, mother
And please don't treat me like a child, I'm not young

Oh boy, I'm sick of speaking
There's so much more to fear than just the wind and rain
Oh, don't be scared, mother
The wind and I, I think we'll run away

Once I'm gone, dream of me
The wind in my hair and sun at my feet
I'll run with rain and fall with wild things
Sing to it all as it sings to me
But that'll be then

Once I'm gone, dream of me
The wind in my hair and sun at my feet
I'll run with rain and fall with wild things
Sing to it all as it sings to me
But that'll be then
