Gone (live)

By The Head and the Heart (2013)
On album Let's Be Still (2013)

Let's Be Still
There were times you should have stalled
As you sailed into the fog
Like a dog I smelled your fear

Lord knows you should have been here with me
But you were gone

These days roll sleepily by
I can hear the old trains cry
There will always be be a moon
Pulling me away from you

You're gone, gone, gone, gone

Gone are the days when the wind would brush my face
Gone are the days when you're the wind...
And gone are the days when YOUR heavy heart is worn on my sleeve.

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh (continued through background until the end)

Take back your pictures
Take back your letters
Don't send me send postcards
Telling me you miss me
'Cause I'm trying here!
I'm trying here!

Fuck what they're saying
My mind is made up
They're all just starving
Like the rest of us
And I'm trying here
Oh! I'm trying here!

Gone are the days when the wind would brush my face
Gone are the days when you're the wind...
And gone are the days when MY heavy heart is worn on my sleeve.

(Notice the contrast from "your" to "my" when referring to a heavy heart, from the middle chorus to the end chorus :()
