Now She's Gone

(album: Tall Stories - 1991)

What if I showed you a picture
Of two people frozen, frozen in time?
What if I told you
The girl that you see was once mine?
But she said goodbye

I was a fool
I left the crease and ran
She didn't know
Looking back it seems like I
Was wasting her time

Broken pieces, promises scattered
Like paper in the wind
Learning the hard way
Nothing can change what is done
Can never be undone

I was a fool
Just didn't understand
What was really all mine
What they say rings true to me
Love is blind

Now she's gone
I think about her night and day
Now she's gone, do you understand?
Now she's gone
I threw her love away
Now she's gone

I was a fool
I left the crease and ran
She didn't know
Looking back I've wondered who
Who she tainted

'Cause now she's gone
I think about her night and day
Now she's gone
Nothing's gonna change
'Cause now she's gone
I threw her love away
Now she's gone, she's gone
You found her
