lyrics

You’ve been gone for quite a while
Can’t remember your last smile
Your lips may spread and your teeth may show
But the light in your eyes no longer glows
You’ve been gone for quite a while
Can’t remember the last time
That I saw the one I know
And not this ghost of woe

Tell me your troubles and struggles and puzzles
I really want to know
Tell me what tortures you inside your bubble
I want to give you hope

You’ve been gone for quite a while
Can’t remember your last smile
Your lips may spread and your teeth may show
But the light in your eyes no longer glows
You’ve been gone for quite a while
Can’t remember the last time
That I saw the one I know
And not this ghost of woe

Will your sadness last forever?
Is it stuck inside your soul?
Can I hope for fairer weather?
Is it out of your control?

You’ve been gone for quite a while
Can’t remember your last smile
Your lips may spread and your teeth may show
But the light in your eyes no longer glows
You’ve been gone for quite a while
Can’t remember the last time
That I saw the one I know
And not this ghost of woe
