Gone (Like) Lyrics

David Allan Coe - Gone (Like)
She's taken to walking, alone in the evenin
He's taken to sleepin, all night in his chair
Together they both, had a reason for livin
Back when the feelin, of loving was there
Then she took to dreamin, when he wasn't lookin
And he took to lookin, for moments alone
Together they drifted, apart from each other
Together they both knew, the feelin was gone.
Chorus:
Gone Like the sparrow, south for the winter
Gone Like the river, out to the sea
Gone Like the leaves from, the trees when its snowing
Gone Like the love that, they once gave so free.
Till he took to starring, at his lonesome shadow
And she took to hummin, the words to some song
They both felt it slippin, that feeling of giving
Leaving the feeling, of being alone
Each of them reach, out for the other
Together they go though, the motions alone
Tryin to pretend that, nothing else matters
Making believe that, their love isn't gone.
Chorus:
Gone Like the love that, they once gave so free.
