Emmylou Harris - My Baby's Gone lyrics

rate me

(Emmylou Harris & Marie Hazel Houser)

Emmylou Harris & The Kendalls

Hold back the rushing minutes make the wind lie still

Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill

Dry all the raindrops hold back the sun

My world has ended my baby's gone.

The Milkman whistles softly as he comes up to my door

The Mailman brings the letters just like he did before

They seem so busy all day long as though there's nothing wrong

Don't they know the world has ended my Baby's Gone?

Hold back the rushing minutes make the wind lie still

Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill

Dry all the raindrops hold back the sun

My world has ended my baby's gone.

--- Instrumental ---

I wake up sometimes in the night and realize you're gone

And then I toss upon my bed and wait for day to come

I try to tell my lonely heart it must go on alone

Don’t they know the world has ended my baby's gone.

Hold back the rushing minutes make the wind lie still

Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill

Dry all the raindrops hold back the sun

My world has ended my baby's gone.

Don’t they know the world has ended my baby's gone...
