I'll Be Gone

Like shining oil, this night is dripping down. Stars are slipping down, glistening. And I'm trying not to think what I'm leaving now and no deceiving now. It's time you let me know Let me know [Chorus:] When the lights go out and we open our eyes out there in the silence, I'll be gone. I'll be gone Let the sun fade out and another one rise, climbing through tomorrow, I'll be gone I'll be gone The sand between us is getting thinner now, Into winter now, bittersweet. And across that horizon, this sun is setting down and you're forgetting now, it's time you let me go Let me go [Chorus] And tell them I couldn't help myself And tell them I was alone Oh, tell me I am the only one and there's nothing left to stop me [Chorus] I'll be gone
