GONE Lyrics

I see a wild deer bleeding by the side of the road

She finally paid back everything that she owed

Her heart is beating soft and slow like the night

Her eyes wide open, stepping into the light

Now she's gone, gone, gone

And she left me to mow the lawn

I was swept off my feet by the straw in her broom

The light in her eyes and her ancient perfume

The glow of a body that just wouldn't break

The bond we would grow and the love we could make

But now she's gone, gone, gone

And she left me to mow the lawn

On the road from the past to the road that I'm on

I've see the night fall, and I've seen the day dawn

I've captured the visions of what I should be

And weighed them against my will to be free

And now they're gone, gone, gone

And I'm left here to mow the lawn

Rachael St. James and Willard St. Mark

Met in an alley, ended up in the park

Lying on blanket as the world came alive

Rachael was naked, and Willard survived

But now they're gone, gone, gone

Who's gonna mow the lawn

Hearts keep breathing and rabbits wake up

His eyes are bleeding and her soul's had enough

She's laying there dreaming, and his pillow is hard

While the neighbors have started pulling the weeds from their yards

It's hard to tell just what went on

Because it's gone, gone, gone
