You're Gone

You're gone as suddenly as you came to me
Like nightfall followed dawn without a day between
You're gone and suddenly I can't see
I'm in the shadow of you
I'm in the shadow of you.

I can see you in my mind's rose-tinted eye
Somewhere you're drifting by
Your heels rolling sparks on the lucky street
While here am I, left behind
Stunned and blind
But I can see you from here
I can see you so clear.

You are the light
You are the light
You have the day
I have the night
But we have the early hours together.

You're gone and heaven cries
A thunderstorm breaks from the northern sky
Chasing you back to the daily grind
You're gone, and where am I?
A haunted life
The ghost of your laughter
The half-empty glass
The half-empty glass.

And I wait 'til midnight tolls
Two souls almost touching in the dark
I'll be alright.

You are the light
You are the light
You have the day
I have the night
But we have the early hours
We have the early hours
We have the early hours together.
