Knew You'd Be Gone
there was an evil glow in the air
like nothing, nothing i'd ever seen and why was i in this menacing place what did this strange dream mean it looked like the end of the world like everything might burst into flame i looked at my hands, they were trembling that's when i heard you call my name you went straight from whisper to shout and your voice was turning inside out and i knew, darling it was all over i knew, darling it was all over that when i woke from this dream you'd be gone you'd be gone the sky grew more threatening still every leaf on every tree was quivering i heard you laugh, heard you laugh so spiteful and the air grew cold, baby i was shivering our life together flashed before my eyes and every truth i'd known turned into lies and i knew, darling it was all over i knew, darling it was all over that when i woke from this dream you'd be gone you'd be gone nothing lasts forever i guess things fall apart, as they say what i learned in that awful, terrible dream would be proven in the light of day the cold light of day the moon in the sky moved toward the sun then the sun and the moon became your eyes they turned toward me, baby, all full of poison as you hissed "this is how love dies" this swirling nightmare, it ravaged my soul then the scene went black, as black as coal and i knew, darling it was all over i knew, darling it was all over that when i woke from this dream you'd be gone you'd be gone you'd be gone knew you'd be gone |
