She's Gone
When she left, I said take everything
Everything that's yours
And in the space of only half an hour
That lonely room was bare.
Even the flowers from the window-box (are not there)
But I could live, with no regrets, alone in this empty room.
I wouldn't ask for anything, or take back what you took
If I could only take back everything I said.
I remember everything the way she looked at me
The things I couldn't say, my feelings so unclear, the empty silence here.
The sun was shining bright, the day she went away.
It's been a year and seven weeks since she went away.
Even though I haven't seen her since
It could still be yesterday.
Even though I haven't seen her
Since she went away.
Now she's gone
And it's too late to say the words
I meant to.
Now she's gone
And I will never have the chance
To tell her
To change her mind.
