Gladly gone Songtext

von Shoulders

"goodbye" they said at the same time
And like the red sea they parted
An ocean of doubt and suspicion
Had drown out the love they had started

Now they are gladly gone
And the world will never miss them
They were just another pair of young lovers
Broken like flotsam and jetsam
And there is nothing more about them
And life will go on from dusk until dawn
But life must go on without them
For they are gladly gone

And the nights will be much darker now
The moon will frown and the stars will be shy
And they will wait for the sun to come around
And when she comes they will fall from the sky
"goodbye" they will say to each other
Without so much as a kiss

The world will not rescue lovers
We will live on in ignorant bliss

For they are gladly gone
And the world will never miss them
They were just another symbol of lovers
Cluttering up all the heavens
And the poets will not write about them
And life will go on with tiresome yawns
But life must go on without them
For they are gladly gone
They are gladly gone
They are gladly gone
