Gone
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The sun is quitting
It’s not the end of my race
Though night is dispatching
Savages at a furious pace
Silver and violet
Shadows run the lawn
I got my antlers in the thicket
Of a dream where you’re gone
You’re gone
And I’m not in your heart
You’re gone
Black hand painted across my mouth
I’m out of things to say
I am a few feet from myself
With a promise to stay
As the wind inclines
The waves hit your dock
My scarf is flapping something wicked
Like it’s trying to talk
Saying, “You’re gone
Yeah, if you’re not in her heart
You’re gone
Gone like that pink star
Up there in the sky
Gone and feeling half-real
On the edge of your life”
Come on, come on
I can still push air, I’m not an act
Am I invisible to you now?
Wait, don’t answer that
I’m going to wake up
Where I was on your lawn
Where shadowy dreams are disappearing
In the light of your dawn
Dawn
And am I in your heart?
Or gone?
