Gone

You seemed ok late that day
it was the night when you slid away.
I spent all my days finding my future
making all my calculations of saints.
I've got novels, poems, my parents' eyes
but I ache.

The truth...

Without you...

Silence falling,
it was just an overture
and I was sure that
I would wake up
and you'd be gone.

I brought all my strength to bear
on a problem that wasn't there.
Tried to see myself in the mirror
but I just stared.
Out all these windows,
the streets still they don't know.
When will this dead wind blow for you?

Silence falling,
it was just an overture
I was sure that
I would wake up
and you'd be gone.

Your fear you've had
Is it gone, this fear you've had?
And as we left the room
I knew it would be soon
Should've known right then
that this was goodbye.

The silence falling,
it was just an overture
I was sure that
that I would wake up

look on your face
steady in this place

Silence falling,
it was just an overture
but I was sure that
I would wake up
and you'd be...
