Long Gone

She was long gone, long, long gone
She was gone, gone, the bigger they come
The larger her hand till no one understands
Why for so long she'd been gone
And I stood very still by the window sill
And I wondered for those I love still
I cried in my mind where I stand behind
The beauty of love's in her eyes
She was long gone, long, long gone
She was gone, gone, the bigger they come
The larger her hand till no one understands
Why for so long she'd been gone
And I borrowed the page
From a leopard's cage
And I prowled in the evening Sun's glaze
Her head lifted high to the light in the sky
The opening dawn on her face
She was long gone long, long gone
She was gone, gone, the bigger they come
The larger her hand till no one understands
Why for so long she'd been gone
And I stood very still by the window sill
And I wondered for those I love still
I cried in my mind where I stand behind
The beauty of love's in her eyes
She was long gone long, long gone
