Already Gone

Young love breaks like a wave on the shoreline

A rolling crash and it's gone

Swirling around and around in the chaos

Gathering strength just to move on

Time and again we're crushed and we're battered

Playing the fool's part again

Over and over we try and we fail

To figure out this game we're all in

Time's running out and you can't help believing but

Here you are now at the end of the song

Down fall the tears when you hear the silence

When you finally know that you're already gone

One more town one more job another chance now

I'm down to muscle and nerve

May not have gotten all that I dreamed of

Pretty sure I got what I deserved

Through the years you grasp and you hold on

To a little dream that won't die

Only to watch it recede along with

All the garbage gone out with the tide

Time's running out and you can't help believing but

Here you are now at the end of the song

Down fall the tears when you hear the silence

When you finally know that you're already gone

Heard an old ghost on the car radio

Under a diamond sky

Sang along as the wheels beneath me rolled

Cast my troubles out into the night

Got no option to turn back now as I

Ponder forgiveness and sin

Feel the weight lift up off my shoulders

Feel some kind of mercy in the wind

Time's running out and you can't help believing but

Here you are now at the end of the song

Down fall the tears when you hear the silence

When you finally know that you're already gone
