Now You're Gone Songtext

von Boz Scaggs

Lying there beside you in the dark, I could not see
Past the light you had set there for me
Oh, that night had it's meaning and the flame shook your room
From the walls to the beating of my heart

But now you're gone
And I won't worry any more
Yes, now you're gone
And I won't worry any more

Oh, your sighs screamed with loneliness
Your eyes traced broken dreams
And your touch held a warning of goodbye

Oh, many's the times I've reached for you
More's the times I've failed
I'm the reason, I'm the cause of it all

But now you're gone
And I won't worry any more
Now you're gone
And I won't worry any more

Why you begged me?
Must we stay here but to wait a bitter end
Than the silence this dimming light foretells

Why the future? Why the past?
Why this moments cold retreat?
How do I know there's no relief you can bring?

And I was lost, I could not answer
No, I could not shed a tear
To the ghost of a love that could have been

Well, I see them all just coming
And I know that they're all gone
But as you're near I won't worry any more

And now you're gone
And I worry anymore
Yes, you're gone
And I won't worry any more
