When you're gone you're gone, real gone
It's a one-way track
Boat through the mist to Avalon
There's no turning back
I was all made up on you
A flame inside
When you're gone you're gone, real gone
No turning back, I've tried
When I call I hit the wall
Of silence can't break through
When I call my spirit falls
Nothing I can do
Empty spaces your other man
In places where I'd be
When I call I hit the wall
Nothing for me
Taking some time out to clean
I'm taking time clearing out the attic
Retune the old radio
And rid my head of the static
Taking some time out to clean
When you're gone you're gone, real gone
Footsteps in the dust
Words lost to spittling wind
And songs in junkyard rust
Should be singing of the fire you lit
Instead I'm on the road
When you're gone you're gone, real gone
I'm kicking up grit in the cold
Taking some time out to clean
I'm taking time clearing out the attic
Retune the old radio
And rid my head of the static
Taking some time out to clean
When you're gone you're gone, real gone
When you're gone you're gone, real gone
When you're gone you're gone, real gone
