It's Gone

Roger McGuinn

A simple thing, another spring

and you were there to share my empty bed

But now I see you played with me

I can't believe I heard the words you said

It's gone



Now you're crying shame, you curse my name

For askin' you to go you throw me to the wolves

But wasn't it clear the end was here?

And we were bein' sentimental fools

It's gone



Remember that day in the sun,

The lake reflecting gold

Walk behind the waterfall, I hold you

And what would we have done

If the future could be told?

The sun was goin' down and it was cold

It was cold

Nothin's free for you or me

I know about the pain, it's mainly in your head

But at the start it was your heart

The night you came to share my empty bed

It's gone
