lyrics

Gone

Time is such a strange companion, you never can predict
If days will drag as years fly by, yet the minutes slowly tick

I stood on that platform waiting for a train from a distant land
Didn’t know where I was going just a suitcase in my hand

I took the first train out of there
Forsaking all those precious years
Now they’re gone, gone, gone, gone
Caught the fastest, furthest ride
Left you without me by your side
Now I’m gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone

The past floats by, it tries to catch me, tries to lock my gaze
But I am here and, darling, this is now, can’t get back those long gone days

Looking back at times I wonder why I hurried so to leave
The grass ain’t greener on the other side it’s just full of stubborn, stubborn weeds

I took the first train out of there
Forsaking all those precious years
Now they’re gone, gone, gone, gone
Caught the fastest, furthest ride
Left you without me by your side
Now I’m gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone

I- I - I want to go home

I took the first train out of there
Forsaking all those precious years
Now they’re gone, gone, gone, gone
Caught the fastest, furthest ride
Left you without me by your side
Now I’m gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
