Lover Gone

Lover gone This song is a good one In four years I'll be anyone But for four years long I was there where you are Lover gone This song I swear is a kind one 'Cause the words I sing you once helped me write And the fear I feel you once helped me fight And my skin still holds light from the sun On the beach where we first fell Oh, lover gone This song is not a love song Because our love's gone But the four letters of my name Are still the first four of yours The four posts around your bed Are still the first in which I crawl Without pretense, without purpose Without drink, without remorse When I gave to you four years Out of my twenty-four I gave to you four years I gave to you four years But couldn't bring myself to give you more And lover gone This song is not a long one But for four years We played safe In a place that was warm
