She's Gone

from A Light To Follow by Emily Maguire

lyrics

You crossed that line after all this time
You nearly lost your mind, you prayed
But what's it for
When she's walking out the door
Says she wouldn't take no more
And you're blown away

This evening she's leaving
There's nothing to say
All the times she'd pleaded
Needed more than you gave

And she would cry her tears
And you'd deny her fears
And every time you'd just carry on
But she's gone

But you should know it's time for her to go
She won't be on her own cos love waits
And your disguise, the tears on the inside
The light that's in your eyes
It won't burn away

This evening she's leaving
There's nothing to say

All the times she'd pleaded
Needed more than you gave
And she would cry her tears
And you'd deny her fears
And every time you'd just carry on
But she's gone

This evening she's leaving
There's nothing to say
All the times she'd pleaded
Needed more than you gave

And she would cry her tears
And you’d deny her fears
And every time you’d carry on

And you'll disguise your tears
And you'll deny your fears
And given time you'll just carry on
