she's gone

She's gone And it's quiet now Took her mother with her Left town Took her mother's eye Stole her mother's heart It's a compromise We nurture that part and she's gone Says she can walk now Says she can walk now Thinks she can walk Seen her walking She totters and falls And when I'm not looking Leans onto the wall And she'll hold on to me only when she wants And she'll fall and be up again It's part of the fun But she's gone Thinks she can walk now Thinks she can walk now Thinks she can walk She's gone And it's quiet now Took her mother with her Left town Took her mother's eye Stole her mother's heart It's a compromise We nurture that part and she's gone And it's quiet now Took her mother with her Left town --- She's Gone - Tindersticks
