Now You're Gone

Something was very wrong
You'd been away too long
I'd lost track of all the times when you weren't around
Not separated for so many nights before
Immersed in other new trials I'd found

Then came the gathering
The mood was sobering
You had to leave us
Was this some kind of joke?
I very nearly laughed
This couldn't come to pass
But from this dreaming I never awoke

I, I just don't know how to feel now you're gone
It's like nothing is real
I thought you would heal
Now I'm in the dark without your light
They said you’d be fine
They'd make you better and then you'd come back home
Into the earth you're descending
There's no happy ending
And never a chance to say goodbye

My final memory is of you telling me
Once this was over we'd go together to hear
The heavy monster sound when Madness came to town
Another form of insanity's here

Now what are we to do?
How will we make it through?
I realise there's so much I still didn't know
Now I can never ask
I've only photographs
Their thousand words won't last a lifetime, though

I, I just don't know how to feel now you're gone
It's like nothing is real
I thought you would heal
Now I'm in the dark without your light
They said you’d be fine
They'd make you better and then you'd come back home
Into the earth you're descending
There's no happy ending
And never a chance to say goodbye
