Gone

I go to bed every night thinking 'bout her eyes
But the sweat on my brow has frozen now
And the bed eats me up and coughs me out
Still I can't understand why she's gone
She scuttled off in her long, white fur coat
Leaving her red beret trailing behind
And my palm smacked the wall and pulled me down
Saw a glimpse in the mirror how I felt so small

I used to be a lover
Now I'm gone
Now I'm gone
I was so enamoured
Now I'm gone
Now I'm gone
I climbed up the tower
Now it's gone
Now it's gone, gone
I've lost all my power
Now I'm gone
Now I'm gone, gone, gone

Time is a thing that I never want to mention
"to die would be an awfully big adventure"
And I smacked a phone round my head just to make me feel something
But there's nothing left inside just dramatic intension
And the love that I felt is left inside that room
That rooms cursed
It will haunt me as long as I know you

You used to be my lover
Now you're gone
Now you're gone
You were so enamoured
Now you're gone
Now you're gone
You climbed up my tower
Now it's burnt to the ground
I've lost all my power
Now you're gone
Now you're gone
Now you're gone, gone, gone

I was a child once
The world was in my hands
No, I'm not a bad one
I just can't find who I am
And I'll give you time love
Until time shakes my hand

I used to be my lover
Now I'm gone
Now I'm gone
Not like any other
Now I'm gone
Now I'm gone
I was in my tower
It had burnt to the ground
Now I'm in a car driving down the M5 with a coke in my hand
I'm gone
I'm gone
