Gone Away

Gone, gone away, gone away in the night
In the night, in the night, in the night, is the light
Is the light you won’t ever see
Hand, in your hand, in your hand, in your hand
Is the sound, is the sound, is the sound, is the sound
Is the sound that leaves all of us
Are you or are you not my friend
Can you understand me
Without some kind of magic hearing aid from across the sea of japan?
Down, down, down you go
In the way, in the way, in the way that you flow
That you flow
And I won’t say “I”
You won’t listen when I’m talking to your face
And you won’t pretend
Taking care of yourself can be a chore
For all your friends’ weekends
Gone, gone away, gone away in the night
In the night, in the night, in the night, is the light
Is it all you hoped it would be
You will not see me
