Song | Gone |
Artist | Slaid Cleaves |
Album | Still Fighting The War |
[00:12.35] | I was going on twelve, she was just nine |
[00:15.36] | Passing round her little valentines |
[00:18.84] | With the devil dancin’ there in her eyes |
[00:21.93] | Teasin’ someday she would be my bride |
[00:26.31] | I said, “You’re just a little girl, now go on” |
[00:31.96] | And as soon as I turned around, there she was . . . gone |
[00:37.94] | There she was, gone. I started thinkin’ bout her night and day |
[00:44.84] | I started singing a young love song. There she was, gone |
[00:51.06] | Out of school now, and she’s my girl |
[00:56.97] | But a restless soul needs to see the world |
[01:00.32] | I search for a promise in those dancing eyes |
[01:03.45] | Would she settle down by my side |
[01:08.10] | She whispers in my ear, “Babe, you can’t hold on.” |
[01:13.76] | So I opened up my arms, and there she was . . . gone. |
[01:19.52] | There she was, gone. I thought about her night and day |
[01:26.27] | I was singing a lonesome song. There she was, gone |
[01:36.06] | Now we’re Mom and Dad, with a girl of our own |
[01:38.68] | Growing like a weed in this happy home |
[01:41.84] | She’s got that devil in her mama’s blue eyes |
[01:44.89] | But no one realizes how time flies |
[01:49.34] | Until the house is still, no more little girl’s songs |
[01:55.08] | One day we turned around, and there she was . . . gone |
[02:01.10] | I’m an old man now, she’s still my girl |
[02:16.99] | Spends her days in a long gone world |
[02:20.42] | There’s a darker devil hiding in her eyes |
[02:23.43] | Telling her, she’s someone else’s wife |
[02:27.89] | She looks at me and says, “Mister, what’s wrong?” |
[02:33.83] | And right before my eyes, there she is . . . gone |
[02:39.78] | There she was, gone. I was searching for her every day |
[02:46.51] | I was singing a worried man song. There she was, gone |
[02:52.03] | There she was, gone. I’ll be thinking ’bout her all my days |
[02:58.62] | I’ll be singing a lonesome song. There she was, gone |
[03:05.03] |
