She Went Away

Birds up in the sky, you know what I mean.
Breeze on which they fly, you know what I mean.
Sunlight through the trees, you know what I mean.
She went away.
River running free, you know what I mean.
Roll out to the sea, you know what I mean.
This desert's lonely tree, you know what I mean.
She went away.
Now I'm free to roam this great big land I know.
Since you went away, the colors seem to fade,
But I know it's not the light.
Seas of golden grain, you know what I mean.
The thunder in the rain, you know what I mean.
How can all this pain come from one ordeal?
She went away.
