Lyrics:

Gone, Gone, Gone

Have you seen a sweet young man
All curly-haired and full of dreams
He used to come in,
Nurse one beer all night long
And, oh, how he¡¯d carry on...
Yes, I remember him
He¡¯s gone, gone, gone...

I heard he¡¯d set off to see the world
To wrap it in a song
Seeking peace and love and brotherhood
To be brave and true and strong
(I) think I got a postcard once but, then again
How soon we can forget
When someone¡¯s gone, gone, gone...

Sure, I knew him well.
He was all those things
And so many more,
Often right, but just as often wrong
I knew him well
Oh, the stories I could tell...
He loved the sea, and jasmine tea
With biscuits and honey
And lazy Sundays absolutely doing nothing all day long

He dreamed of sun-drenched love and laughter
Forever after
Lovely dreams, so fresh
And bright and strong
(But) now he's just a memory
He¡¯s gone, gone, gone...

He had (such) dreams,
Such perfect dreams
Of fields of flowers and country streams
(Oh) how we laughed and cried
And loved and lost, then loved again
High up on the roof
Under summer¡¯s /stormy skies
(But) in the blink of an eye (in the blink of an eye)
Time passes by
(And) now he¡¯s gone, gone, gone...
(how we laughed and loved and cried)

We had it all, then lost it all
Now, it¡¯s gone, gone, gone, (gone)...
It¡¯s gone, gone, gone...
