Gone - James Otto

Wonder where she is tonight
Is she alone? 
Or did she find what she needed from me?
I guess I got what I deserve
How could I go on hurting her? 
That way
And think she'd stay

I found it sitting on the stove
It's overwritten on a posted note
And that is all she wrote

She's gone
Like the mind of a man insane
Gone like the snow when it turns to rain
Runs down the road and down the drain
So long
Gone like the money when you pay the rent
Gone like the time that I should have spent at home
With her
Too bad 
One word
Gone

I don't know when she showed up
For a minute I didn't know what to say
I was blown away
This time I'm gonna do things right
Gonna show her every night I care
This time I swear

As I reach out to touch her face
That's when the whole thing starts to fade
And I hear the sound of my alarm clock
And it hits me like a Mack truck doing 90 
Down a one way, dead end road down straight for hell 

She's gone
Like the mind of a man insane
Gone like the snow when it turns to rain
Runs down the road and down the drain
So long
Gone like the money when you pay the rent
Gone like the time that I should have spent at home
With her
Too bad
One word 
Gone
Gone like the money when you pay the rent
Gone like the time that I should have spent at home
With her
Too bad 
One word
Gone
