Lyrics

YOU'RE GONE

I WAKE THE MORNING FROM ANOTHER DREAM OF YOU
HEAD STILL ACHIN FROM THE DRINKIN THAT I DO
ONE LOOK AROUND ME TELLS ME YOU'RE NOT SATISFIED
THE SUN IS SHINING BUT IT FEELS SO COLD INSIDE
THE NEW DAY IS TELLING ME YOU'RE GONE

THE MAN INSIDE MY MIRROR
WEARS A TWO DAY GROWTH OF BEARD
HIS SHIRT NEEDS PRESSING
AND HIS HAIR NEEDS TO BE SHEARED
HE LOOKS ME UP AND DOWN
AND HE TRIES TO TURN ME INSIDE OUT
WHEN I SHUSH AT HIM
HE CURLS HIS LIP AND POUTS
THE MORNING LIGHT IS TELLING ME YOU'RE GONE
THE NEW DAY IS TELLING ME YOU'RE GONE

COFFEE?S DRIPPING
AND I'M STARING INTO SPACE
CAN'T HELP BUT HURTING
THIS IS SUCH A LONELY PLACE
SOMETIMES I THINK
THAT THIS IS JUST A LOUSY GAME
BUT WE'RE NOT CHILDREN
AND I KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT PLAYING
THE COLD COFFEES TELLING ME YOU'RE GONE
THE COLD, COLD, COFFEES TELLING ME YOU'RE GONE
NO ONE HAS TO TELL ME YOU?RE GONE
