She's Gone


Nights by the fire when she was there
Now all I see is an empty chair
She's gone and this man is dying

There was a time when I'd laugh and sing
All I have left is a dusty reign
She's gone, there's no purpose in trying

The door stays open in the day
The lock still broken
And the way I feel without her here
Is very strange and won't change

Living is warm when a half is cold
Fallin' apart when you can't be strong alone
When time has no meaning

Passin' the night in the same routine
Playin' the part in a broken dream
She's gone, there's no reason for being

The door stays open in the day
The lock still broken
And the way I feel without her here
Is very strange and won't change

Nights by the fire when she was there
Now all I see is an empty chair
She's gone and this man is dying
She's gone, there's no purpose in trying
