Never Knew You Were Gone

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Careful, don't let the screen door slam The carnival's open, but that spring in the middle might bite the hand The moon's full, it's light from the hiding sun There's flowers in the carpet but dad's staring bullets At some cowboys and indians [Chorus] Gone in a silvery fire Gone right over to the other side for a little while Barking at the TV screen Gawking at the beauty queens They never knew you were gone [Verse 2] You're faithful to the call of the borderlinе You noticed a hog nosed snake and that takеs a willing vision to bring to life The skyfull is burning with angel eyes The stars up in the heavens shine like the horns of a celestial front line [Chorus] Gone in a silvery fire Gone right over to the other side for a little while A different world through an open door Cicada on a sycamore They never knew you were gone They never knew you were gone [Verse 3] January sunrise over the pines A tall one's broken under snow that fell for days of hours And it's peaceful, but there's no one to listen now There's silence in the city The keys to the kingdom have been buried deep underground [Chorus] Gone in a silvery fire Gone right over to the other side for a little while Barking at the TV screen Gawking at the beauty queens They never knew you were gone They never knew you were gone
