Gone

Abi Hercules

Our world was snuggling under a blanket of snow, beautiful snow
I wanted to tell you, but you were gone
Charlie took his first step, then a second, then more and more
I wanted to tell you, but you were gone
Oh oh oh, you were gone

The deer in the park came home again and the caged birds made me cry
I wanted to tell you, but you were gone
My mother was missing my father so much she longed to live no more
I wanted to tell you, but you were gone
Oh oh oh, you were gone

Bridge
Why dip a toe in the shallows of my waters?
Why not dive in deep, swim free with me?

I remember our walk on the beach, when you chose your son over me
I wanted to walk with you, but you were gone
I wrote this song of heartache to play my pain away
I wanted to sing it to you, but you were gone
Oh oh oh, you were gone

Bridge

I dreamed of your guilty gifts piled on a pyre with you burning on high
I wanted to kill you, but you were gone
You’ve taken all the trust I had and blown it all away
For that I hate you, thank God you’ve gone
Oh oh oh, thank God you’ve gone
Oh oh oh, thank God you’ve gone
