She's Gone lyrics

My woman is gone (woman is gone), my woman is gone (woman is gone).

She had left me a note hanging on my door:

She say she couldn't take it, she couldn't take any more.

The pressure around me - just couldn't see;

She felt like a prisoner who needs to be free.

Fools have tried, yeah - wisemen have failed:

Oh, listen to me, honey: life could never be another jail.

Still we know now: we'll never see smoke without fire

And everyone you see has a heart desire.

She's gone (she's gone), she's gone (she's gone),

she's gone (she's gone), she's gone, ye-ah!

Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard,

Words that I never heard?

Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard,

Words that I never heard?

She made it through the exit (she just couldn't take it);

She made it through the exit (she just couldn't make it).

And, oh, my children, if you see me cryin':

My woman is gone.

If you see me - if you see me - if you see me -

if you see me cryin' -

If you see me - if you see me - if you see me -

if you see me cryin':

She's gone (she's gone), she's gone (she's gone), she's gone, ye-ah!

Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard,

Words that I never heard?

Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard,

Words that I never heard?

She's gone (she's gone), she's gone (she's gone), she's gone

(she's gone)
