I'm shaking like a leaf on a tree   Do you understand, will you come with me?   Don't make a sound, don't even breathe   They'll understand why don't we leave      We can steal a ride on a bus   Drive down a road all covered in dust   Head north by northwest 'til we reach the coast   We'll find an address that don't get the post      When she's gone, even though she won't be long   It just tears my world apart   Puts a hole right through my heart      She let me see her new tattoo   It was my name written in blue   A mark of pain across her chest   I was the lover on her breast      So come with me and don't be afraid   We could be free out of the shade   Your life has begun   Come on let's run over the ground in an air raid   We've got the gun, don't be afraid      When she's gone, even though she won't be long   It just tears my world apart   Puts a hole right through my heart   Only when this girl has gone, will I know if I am wrong   Who would choose a life of one   I can't carry on when she's gone      (Repeat)      When she's gone, even though she won't be long   It just tears my world apart   Puts a hole right through my heart      Only when this girl has gone
