Gone Away - My Brightest Diamond

Far away you’ve gone, and left me here

So cold without you, so lonely dear

May June July I count the time

Every minute I go takes the smell of your clothes further away

'Cause you’ve gone away

Where there isn’t a telephone wire

Still I wait by the phone

You don’t even write to say goodbye

Goodbye

I have saved every piece of paper

Like grocery lists and note cards

To-do lists and race scores

So just in case you change your mind and come back

I’ve kept everything safe

While you’re gone away

Where there isn’t a telephone wire

Still I wait by the phone

You don’t even write to say goodbye

Goodbye

Get me out get me off

Get me out get me off

This is a ride going nowhere

But somewhere that I despise

Going nowhere to end up with a tearful

I don’t wanna go on

With these pieces of paper

That you’ve left behind

For this is a ride going nowhere

But somewhere that I despise

Going nowhere to end up with a tearful

I don’t wanna go on

With these pieces of paper

To keep me company in my old age

While you’re gone away

Where there isn’t a telephone wire

Still I wait by the phone

Why don’t you write to say goodbye?

Goodbye
