Lyrics Mavis Staples – I’ll Be Gone
Text:
There’s a place far from here
Gonna make it my home
It’s where I belong
When I get where I’m going
I’ll be gone, I’ll be gone
When my heart
Gets so tired
That it can’t keep time
Don’t you cry
When I get where I’m going
I’ll be gone, I’ll be gone
Wish I could tell you that the sun was gonna shine
I got a feelin that I still won’t change my mind
Runnin out of time
There’s a place
On a mountain
You can take my bones
When I go home
When I get where I’m going
I’ll be gone, I’ll be gone
I wanna tell you that it’s all gonna be just fine
But I don’t wanna waste any more of your time
You didn’t waste mine
