Gone Lyrics

Found a picture of the two of us while we were out drinking

You were smiling at the camera and I was blinking

And as quick as any moment ever comes along

There you were and now you're gone

Like a rowboat song floating on downstream

Maybe happiness and hurt in life is truly just a dream

'Cause like anything good that ever comes along

It floats downstream until it's gone

And as the crazy stops pacing between my ears

The silence between us goes from days to weeks to months to years

Boy, you keep trying you're gonna make it worse

Until everything she says is cordial but terse

Fighting for a heart that'll never bend

It's like starring at love through a looking glass from the opposite end

It was close to you before you looked along

Now it's far away, and then it's gone

And as the crazy stops pacing between my ears

The silence between us goes from days to weeks to months to years

Boy you keep trying you're gonna make it worse

Until everything she says is cordial but terse

Found a picture of the two of us while we were out drinking

You were smiling at the camera and I was blinking

And as quick as any moment ever comes along

It floats downstream until it's gone

It was close to you before you looked along

Now it's far away and then it's gone

Because like anything good that ever comes along

You close your eyes and then it's gone
