Now That You’re Gone

Lyrics

I knew this life was full of sorrow But still I believed That good times would follow That the evil would falter And true hearts would rise True hearts would rise That simple dream ended On the night that you died And even the sound of a whistle fading Brings back the longing And stirs up the aching Peaceful companion that grounded my soul You grounded my soul The world spins without meaning Now that you're gone Sometimes I still think I will see you in New York And we will meet on the platform of the train And with your great leaning stride You'll cross back to my side And my old life Will be my life again You were quiet as a winter sky Where planets turn And the North Star rides My sweet brother, so reasoned, so calm My brother, my own The world spins without meaning Now that you're gone Sometimes I still think I will see you in New York And I will meet you on the platform of the train And with your great leaning stride You'll cross back to my side And the sweet life Will be my life again I knew this life was full of sorrow But still I believed That good times would follow That the evil would falter And true hearts would rise True hearts would rise That simple dream ended On the night that you died
