Now That You're Gone Lyrics

Now That You're Gone

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.
