Gone

James Otto

Wonder where she is tonight

Is she alone?

Or did she find what she needed from me?

I guess I got what I deserve

How could I go on hurting her?

That way

And think she'd stay



I found it sitting on the stove

It's overwritten on a posted note

And that is all she wrote



She's gone

Like the mind of a man insane

Gone like the snow when it turns to rain

Runs down the road and down the drain

So long

Gone like the money when you pay the rent

Gone like the time that I should have spent at home

With her

Too bad

One word

Gone



I don't know when she showed up

For a minute I didn't know what to say

I was blown away

This time I'm gonna do things right

Gonna show her every night I care

This time I swear



As I reach out to touch her face

That's when the whole thing starts to fade

And I hear the sound of my alarm clock

And it hits me like a Mack truck doing 90

Down a one way, dead end road down straight for hell



She's gone

Like the mind of a man insane

Gone like the snow when it turns to rain

Runs down the road and down the drain

So long

Gone like the money when you pay the rent

Gone like the time that I should have spent at home

With her

Too bad

One word

Gone

Gone like the money when you pay the rent

Gone like the time that I should have spent at home

With her

Too bad

One word

Gone
