When You're Gone, You're Gone

I'm gonna count to a thousand

In my bed each night

You'll be falling asleep

In the arms of the one that treated you right

I stood up at your wedding

I couldn't hold my peace

I had a feeling you wanted me to

But you couldn't let me see

When you're gone, you're gone

I dreamed we went the distance

I dreamed we went the dirt roads

And ended up in some centaur's lullaby

At the edge of the world we love

We pulled into a cabin

In the moss and ferns

And the fog was coming in heavy

You said, "Hey, here we are."

When you're gone, you're gone

You fell out of the pages

Of some well worn fairy tale

Ah but it was no accident baby

You were fighting that life tooth and nail

When you're gone, you're gone
