Damn I Miss You When You're Gone

Curtis Peoples


A photograph of a moment past
Reaching back like a country song
A history in blues and greens
Damn I miss you when you're gone
Your eyes were wild
Your side smile
It's been awhile
Since your hair was long
We were so in love
Oh but we grow up
Damn I miss you when you're gone

So I sing my song
To nobody, nobody at all
Just the ghosts and the cracks in the walls
With all the plans we made
When we were young in the summer shade
Now all that remains
Is this song
Damn I miss you when you're gone

Lord knows I try
To get it right
But it's hard to fight it all alone
My slipping faith
Your saving grace
Damn I miss you when you're gone

So I sing my song
To nobody, nobody at all
Just the ghosts and the cracks in the walls
With all the plans we made
When we were young in the summer shade
Now all that remains
Is this song
Damn I miss you when you're gone

I smell your ghost
In my winter coat
You've been known
To linger on
And in a thousand years
Will I still be here
Singing damn I miss you when you're gone

So I sing my song
To nobody, nobody at all
Just the ghosts and the cracks in the walls
With all the plans we made
When we were young in the summer shade
Now all that remains
Is this song
Damn I miss you when you're gone

So I sing my song
To nobody, nobody at all
Just the ghosts and the cracks in the walls
With all the plans we made
When we were young in the summer shade
Now all that remains
Is this song
Damn I miss you when you're gone
