Lyrics
Gone in a flash, gone in a flame
Gone in the dark, gone when I call your name
Under a wave, under the ground
Under my skin and still you hardly make a sound
I look back and still I see nothing
Nothing but you
A cabin floor, a piece of gold
I’ll take anything, anything my hands can hold
A dream that lingers in the light
And leaves you stumbling back toward that gentle night
I look back and still I see nothing
Nothing but you
What if I wake to find I was mistaken this whole time
But if I’d never lost you
You may never have been mine
Gone in the winter, gone in the spring
Leaves were falling I swear I heard you sing
Summer’s come, and I look around
Still you’re nowhere, no you’re nowhere to be found
I look back and still I see nothing
Nothing but you
