lyrics
Now that she's gone
Now that she's gone
What did she take
That you can't replace?
Was it the way
She sang when no-one was looking
High and sweet as the stars?
Was it the way
She carried your pain on her shoulders
Her eyes, always so far away?
Sometimes it feels
Like summer will last forever
But you know it always ends
And in her wake
The leaves start desperately falling
They know they'll never see her again
She's gone
She's gone
What did she take
That made your heart break?
Was it the way
She danced when no-one was looking
Like water flowing through your hands?
Her smile
Like birds on the distant horizon
A sign you were coming to dry land?
She's gone
She's gone
What did she take
That you can't replace?
Was it her cheek,
The color of ashes of roses
Her skin in the trembling dark?
Was it the way
She kissed you when no-one was looking
Pure and sweet as the stars?
She's gone
She's gone
What did she do
To make your heart break in two?
She's gone
She's gone
