Already Gone

[good4somethingbum]

adios '07...Already GoneShe slipped from bed and she tip-toed, downstairs to get dressedSoon she’d be in a diff’rent zip code, on the highway headin’ westFolger’s was set to start brewin’, right at 5:15She thought our love’d been ruined, and when I came down she’d beAlready gone and miles away from the life we once sharedWe’d loved through thick n thin but soon she’d vanish in thin airCos if love no longer moves you it’s time to move onAnd the way things’d been goin’ she was already goneShe knew we could’ve loved forever, in our old farmhouseA home we’d built together, with time and two loving vowsBut somehow love was defeated, she wasn’t even blamin’ meShe hadn’t told me she’d cheated, she’d just planned to beAlready gone and miles away from the life we once sharedWe’d loved through thick n thin but soon she’d vanish in thin airCos if love no longer moves you it’s time to move onAnd the way things’d been goin’ she was already goneShe thought about what she was doin’, her love for me was still thereSoon the coffee started brewin’, but I didn’t come downstairsShe knew what we’d meant to each other, and couldn’t give up on usWent upstairs and pulled back my covers, then started cryin’ becauseI was already gone and miles away from the life we once sharedWe’d loved through thick n thin but that had vanished in thin airCos if love no longer moves you it’s time to move onAnd the way things’d been goin’ I was already goneAlready goneAlready gone…©2007 Robert George
