Lyrics

Gone, Gone Gone

Barbara King was 9 years old
At the counter with a chocolate shake
Her Dad just bought her something sweet
To go with the heartbreak
?It?s nothing you?ve done, be good for your Mom,
Try to be strong when I?m gone gone gone?
For 15 years she held her tongue and found herself a mate.
She kept the peace at any cost and she counted herself safe.
What more could she want her life was a pawn
It was gone gone gone
She just played along she was gone gone goone
She sent thank you cards both near and far
Until it felt just like a prayer
But from what I?ve seen I can guarantee some prayers don?t have wings and the caged bird never sings
I was 13 years with no ideas inside my heated brain
I stood right by her bedside and she started to explain
?You are my son, you?re my only son"
"Try to be strong when I?m gone gone gone?
