lyrics

Knew You'd Be Gone

there was an evil glow in the air
like nothing, nothing i'd ever seen
and why was i in this menacing place
what did this strange dream mean
it looked like the end of the world
like everything might burst into flame
i looked at my hands, they were trembling
that's when i heard you call my name
you went straight from whisper to shout
and your voice was turning inside out
and i knew, darling it was all over
i knew, darling it was all over
that when i woke from this dream you'd be gone
you'd be gone

the sky grew more threatening still
every leaf on every tree was quivering
i heard you laugh, heard you laugh so spiteful
and the air grew cold, baby i was shivering
our life together flashed before my eyes
and every truth i'd known turned into lies
and i knew, darling it was all over
i knew, darling it was all over
that when i woke from this dream you'd be gone
you'd be gone

nothing lasts forever i guess
things fall apart, as they say
what i learned in that awful, terrible dream
would be proven in the light of day
the cold light of day

the moon in the sky moved toward the sun
then the sun and the moon became your eyes
they turned toward me, baby, all full of poison
as you hissed "this is how love dies"
this swirling nightmare, it ravaged my soul
then the scene went black, as black as coal
and i knew, darling it was all over
i knew, darling it was all over
that when i woke from this dream you'd be gone
you'd be gone
you'd be gone
knew you'd be gone
