I'll Be Gone

It was a long hot summer day We're in the living room watching the light drain away Hey you're too tired to read what your cards foretold inside of a yawn When she said, "The first time you show me your true heart I'll be gone" I'll be gone, I'll be gone I'll be gone, I'll be gone The numb ringing after the bell was rung Playing red light, green light, such timeless fun And there was no way to kick start any conversation It was like the beginning of 2001, when she said "I'll be gone, I'll be gone I'll be gone, I'll be gone" The air isn't moving and the women have nothing on their lips But the kind of breath that you keep for the hospital bed Pregnant with the timeless drop and the wind The air leeches the gold out of everything elusive but stolen, but stolen I'll be gone, I'll be gone I'll be gone, I'll be gone I'll be gone, I'll be gone --- I'll Be Gone - American Music Club
