After You've Gone

After you've gone



You're just a mile away

One thousand five tiny steps from here

But if i brought you near

Would you believe when i say,

It seems like yesterday

That i could reach out and touch your face,

But as i fall from grace

Into whose arms can i lay



It's always much too late

We get the signs

We can't communicate

Or turn back time



So what will be now, do you feel somehow

Not so together and not quite as strong

Now i believe

Alone doesn't have to mean lonely, after you've gone



If it's a healing wind

That cools the flame burning in my sight

It must accelerate

For two wrongs they don't make a right



And all these solitaires, lone victories

Wars fought in isolation, with none to please



The future's still uncertain, the past is done
