Long Gone

And she was long gone, long, long gone
Gone, gone, the bigger they come
The larger her hands 'til no one understands
Why for so long she'd been gone

And I stood very still by the windowsill
And I wondered for those I love still
And I cried in my mind where I stand behind
The beauty of love's in her eyes

And she was long gone, long, long gone
She was gone, gone, the bigger they come
The larger her hands 'til no one understands
Why for so long she had been gone

And I borrowed the page from a leopard's cage
And I prowled in the evening sun's glaze
Her head lifted high to light the sky
The opening dawn in her face

And she was long gone, long, long gone
She was gone, gone, the bigger they come
The larger her hands 'til no one understands
Why for so long she'd been gone
