Now You're Gone - Boz Scaggs

Lying there beside you in the dark, I could not see

Past the light you had set there for me

Oh, that night had it’s meaning and the flame shook your room

From the walls to the beating of my heart

But now you’re gone

And I won’t worry any more

Yes, now you’re gone

And I won’t worry any more

Oh, your sighs screamed with loneliness

Your eyes traced broken dreams

And your touch held a warning of goodbye

Oh, many’s the times I’ve reached for you

More’s the times I’ve failed

I’m the reason, I’m the cause of it all

But now you’re gone

And I won’t worry any more

Now you’re gone

And I won’t worry any more

Why you begged me?

Must we stay here but to wait a bitter end

Than the silence this dimming light foretells

Why the future?

Why the past?

Why this moments cold retreat?

How do I know there’s no relief you can bring?

And I was lost, I could not answer

No, I could not shed a tear

To the ghost of a love that could have been

Well, I see them all just coming

And I know that they’re all gone

But as you’re near I won’t worry any more

And now you’re gone

And I worry anymore

Yes, you’re gone

And I won’t worry any more
