She's Gone

She's gone

And it's quiet now

Took her mother with her

Left town

Took her mother's eye

Stole her mother's heart

It's a compromise

We nurture that part and she's gone

Says she can walk now

Says she can walk now

Thinks she can walk

Seen her walking

She totters and falls

And when I'm not looking

Leans onto the wall

And she'll hold on to me only when she wants

And she'll fall and be up again

It's part of the fun

But she's gone

Thinks she can walk now

Thinks she can walk now

Thinks she can walk

She's gone

And it's quiet now

Took her mother with her

Left town

Took her mother's eye

Stole her mother's heart

It's a compromise

We nurture that part and she's gone

And it's quiet now

Took her mother with her

Left town
