lyrics

Gone Baby Gone

Going through your history
You beheld an ancient mystery
In the moment when you’d had enough
You weren’t there in a cold dark stare
Just a transient on the highway of love

And you were gone baby
Gone baby gone baby gone
You were gone baby gone
Baby gone baby gone
Gone beyond tomorrow
And the albatross of sorrow
Just a transient on the highway of love

Funny what a throat can say
When everybody’s gone away
And nothing’s left to be above
You weren’t there in a cold dark stare
Just a transient on the highway of love

And you were gone baby
Gone baby gone baby gone
You were gone baby gone
Baby gone baby gone
Gone beyond tomorrow
And the albatross of sorrow
Just a transient on the highway of love

Always full of nothin’
Like the colours of a puffin
When she bleeds into the painted dove
You weren’t there in a cold dark stare
Just a transient on the highway of love

And you were gone baby
Gone baby gone baby gone
You were gone baby gone
Baby gone baby gone
Gone beyond tomorrow
And the albatross of sorrow
Just a transient on the highway of love
