Gone Away

Gone, gone away, gone away in the night

in the night, in the night, in the night, is the light

is the light you won’t ever see

hand, in your hand, in your hand, in your hand

is the sound, is the sound, is the sound, is the sound

is the sound that leaves all of us

are you or are you not my friend

can you understand me

without some kind of magic hearing aid from across the sea of japan?

down, down, down you go

in the way, in the way, in the way that you flow

that you flow

and i won’t say “i”

you won’t listen when i’m talking to your face

and you won’t pretend

taking care of yourself can be a chore

for all your friends’ weekends

gone, gone away, gone away in the night

in the night, in the night, in the night, is the light

is it all you hoped it would be

you will not see me
