DON’T KNOW WHEN © 2014 Meg Devlin Irish


Don’t know when I will again watch this river flow
from this back porch, only home I’ve ever known
Don’t know when I will ever question love so true
while I dry these tears and say good-bye to you.
Don’t know when, no Papa, I don’t know when
but, I’ll be back again.

Don’t know when I will forget to look up in the sky
And fail to see the stars for your eyes.
Don’t know when I will ever find the wisdom that I need,
and the reasons for my faltering beliefs.
Don’t know when, no Papa, I don’t know when
but, I’ll be back again.

So many rivers I must cross ‘til I meet my journeys end.
When I find my own road, Papa, I know when but
I’ll be back again.

But, I don’t know when, Oh Papa, I don’t know when
but, I’ll be back again.

Don’t know when I will forget the patient hand that raised
But this child I am must be forever changed.
Don’t know when, no Papa, I don’t know when
But I’ll be back again.
I’ll be back again.
I’ll be back again.
