He's Gone Away - Pat Metheny

Tears on a pillow Eyes on the phone You pour all the love that you keep inside Into a song Like he's gone These are the thoughts that you keep inside You smile from your window And stand all alone Pour all the love that you keep inside Into the phone Into the phone And like the leaves on the trees Like the Carpenters' song Like the planes, and the trains, and the lives that were young He's gone, and it feels like the words to a song With the style of a widow And the place of your own You pour all the words that you keep inside Into the phone And sit alone And these are the thoughts that you keep inside And you smile from your window And stand all alone And pour all the love that you keep inside Into a song Into a song And like the leaves on the trees Like the Carpenters' song Like the planes and the trains and the lives that were young He's gone, and it feels like the words to a song And like the stains on the names of the lives of the young He's gone, and it feels like the words to a song And like the leaves on the trees Like the Carpenters' song Like the planes, and the trains, and the lives that were young He's gone, and it feels like the words to a song And like the stains on the names of the lives of the young He's gone, and it feels like the words to a song So gone So gone La-di-da-da-da La-di-da-da-da La-di-da-da-da, da-da-da

I see the face of peace on the horizon Rising in the east But it only took one moment Just one moment Now we got battle scars And freedom feels so far away Tyranny was meant to be All that remains is an unfinished symphony He was so in love with chaos, I could never see Good things don't happen to heroes just like you and me It only took one moment (one) Just one moment (one) These adventures are a gift And we will never drift away The thing I built this nation for Doesn't exist anymore Gone away It only took one moment Just one moment Our life and liberty And pursuit of victory gone away The thing I built this nation for Doesn't exist anymore Gone away
