Flashing lights of warning, neon signs
It was all right there, hiding in plain sight
Standing in the hallway, looking in
No one in the world was ever so unreal
But I know that fragments and debris,
Like pieces of the past
They make sense only when they last
The winters and the morning light
The thousand nights that you drove me wild
It's all gone, it's all gone,
I know that it's all gone now.
The reeling scent of our bodies' warmth
The coffee kiss by the bedroom door
It's all gone, it's all gone,
I know that it's all gone.
Shades of understanding,
Til something breaks
These are games of unforgiving stakes.
And I know that fragments and debris,
Like picking up the pieces,
They never mend a life nor right its misses.
The weekend strolls by the market stalls
The naked lunch and the whispered oaths
It's all gone, it's all gone,
I know that it's all gone now.
The leather lace and the silver cross,
Your photograph there and this sudden loss.
It's all gone, it's all gone,
I know that it's all gone.
Standing in the hallway, looking out
You see its face, the ghost of lovers past.
But I know that fragments and debris,
Like pieces of the past
They make sense only when they last.
The winters and the morning light
The thousand nights that you drove me wild
It's all gone, it's all gone,
I know that it's all gone now.
The reeling scent of our bodies' warmth
The coffee kiss by the bedroom door
It's all gone, it's all gone,
I know that it's all gone now.
The weekend strolls by the market stalls
The naked lunch and the whispered oaths
It's all gone, it's all gone,
I know that it's all gone now.
The leather lace and the silver cross,
Our photograph there and this sudden loss.
It's all gone, it's all gone,
I know that it's all gone.
