Gone
Words and Music by Patrick Harnish
Just one little kiss
Before I go.
Leave your perfume
On my clothes.
I've got a feeling I won't be coming back this time.
There's a reaper at my back.
A devil at my door.
The air is getting hot.
Smoke is coming through the floor.
And if headlights come to lead me
Into a grave that keeps me
Remember through your weeping
That I loved you so much girl.
Was it you that always said
That your destiny was sad?
I need you to be strong
As I stumble through this death.
I won't lay my head down.
And I won't close my eyes now.
Cause' if I die tomorrow
I want your picture in my eyes.
If your living get too lonely
I hope you end your mourning.
I only ask you leave me
Flowers now and then.
And if you listen very deeply
To the souls that stir beneath thee
You will hear my voice
Whispering your name.
In the choir of the dead
Let there be no soul that I said
That I didn't sing you songs and beg forgiveness for my sins.
In this fall that I see coming
You won't see me running
Over to the ledge
But I am not afraid.
I won't lay my head down.
And I won't close my eyes now.
Cause' if I die tomorrow
I want your picture in my eyes.
And I won't lay my head down.
And I won't close my eyes now.
Cause' if I die tomorrow
I want your picture in my eyes.
And I won't lay my head down.
And I won't close my eyes now.
Cause' if I die tomorrow
I want your picture in my eyes.
And I won't lay my head down.
And I won't close my eyes now.
Cause' if I die tomorrow
I want your picture in my eyes.
