Now You're Gone

Lying there beside you in the dark I could not see
Past the light you had set there for me
Oh the night it had it's meaning and the flame it shook your room
From the walls to the beating of my heart

But now you're gone and I won't worry anymore
Yes now you're gone and I won't worry anymore

Oh your sighs screamed with loneliness
And your eyes traced broken dreams
And your touch held a warning of goodbye
Yes many's the times I've reached for you
And more's the times I've failеd
I'm the reason I'm the cause of it all

Cause now you're gone and I won't worry anymore
Yes now you're gone and I can't worry anymore
[ instrumental ]
Why you begged me must we stay here but to wait a bitter end
Than the silence this dimming light foretells
Why the future why the past why this moment of cold retreat
How do I know there's no relief that you can bring

And I was lost I could not answer Lord I could not shed a tear
To the ghost of a love that might have been
I can see them all just coming and I know that they're all gone
As you're near me I won't worry anymore

Yes now it's gone and I won't worry anymore
Yes now it's gone and I can't worry anymore
