Already Gone

Lyrics

Like the light that's resting on the leaves Like the scent that's carried on the breeze Like footsteps in the falling snow Turn around, it's already gone There's something kept here that I want to give Something hidden, I don't want to hide When it rises in me like a tide, I know I've had it so long, I don't want it no more Under the darkest of winter skies The trees stood naked and severe I worked that land through till the spring and then By harvest time I was already gone Maybe her love would have carried me till the end Maybe she meant every word that she said Maybe she wasn't just passing time, oh no I don't know, I was already gone There's something kept here that I want to give Something hidden, I don't want to hide When it rises in me like a tide, oh no And I may once have stayed, but I've already gone You want that boy who's playing in the sand The one with a smile for everyone But even though that boy was just begun Even then, he was already gone For like the light that's resting on the leaves The scent that's carried on the breeze Like her love and the first fall of snow Turn around and it's already gone
