She was long gone, long, long gone

she was gone, gone, the bigger they come

the larger her hand 'till no one understands

why for so long she'd been gone.



And I stood very still by the window sill

and I wondered for those I love still

I cried in my mind where I stand behind

the beauty of love's in her eyes...



She was long gone, long, long gone

she was gone, gone, the bigger they come

the larger her hand 'till no one understands

why for so long she'd 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 the light in the sky

the opening dawn on her face...



She was long gone long, long gone

she was gone, gone, the bigger they come

the larger her hand 'till no one understands

why for so long she'd been gone.



And I stood very still by the window sill

and I wondered for those I love still

I cried in my mind where I stand behind

the beauty of love's in her eyes...



She was long gone long, long gone.
