Lyrics

Your drawers all empty
Our kitchen bare
Other than the note you left me
It's still lying there

You said I hurt you
You said I lied
Said I was sorry
But you still said goodbye

And now I lie alone in bed at night
Awake until the dawn
Nothing I do can ease this pain
Since You've Been Gone

I can't close my eyes - sweet baby
Without seeing your smile
I can't sing our song
Maybe baby, I don't feel like I belong
It's hard to be home
Here without you
Since You've Been Gone

Our marraige vows
(Stitched) on a pillow case
Your matching towels
Satin and lace
Our wedding picture
There in it's broken frame
Mail on the table
That still bears your name

And now your garden is too overgrown
And the neighbors never phone
The silence at home goes on and on
Since You've Been Gone

I can't close my eyes - sweet baby
Without out seeing your smile
I can't sing our song
Maybe baby - I don't feel like I belong
It's hard to be home
Oh - without you
Since You've Been Gone

Since You've Been Gone
Bye bye - so long
Since You've Been Gone
Goodbye - I know I was wrong
Since You've Been Gone
Bye bye - so long
Since You've Been Gone

I said it all in a letter
That I'll never send to you
