DUNCAN SHEIK LYRICS - So Gone

"So Gone"



How many times on this merry-go-round

Over and over again

Up on that horse was a weak foolish child

Never believed it would end



How many smokes till I'm satisfied

How many dreams till I'm happy

How much of the day will I watch fade away

Till there is no one to ask me



I was gone, so gone

Gone, so gone for a while



How many times will I sleep by your side

Turning and dreaming and scared

Of fair grounds that shut down

As you ride away, my horse won't go anywhere



I was gone, so gone

Gone, so gone for a while



I was wrong, so wrong

Wrong, so wrong for a while



How many songs will I try to write

All have the same thing to say

I've got two tickets left, won't you please stay with me

For the very last ride of the day?
