Now You've Been Gone For - Buffy Sainte-Marie

Now you’ve been gone for a long time

Run off with my heart into the night

Once I’d have thought that you’d never let me go

Now I’m alone after all

I’ve sat for hours at my table

Poring over maps about our stars

All they would say is that you were always here

Now like a ghost you’ve disapeared

Strange how you came like a reed up from the sea

Up from the blood in my veins

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba..

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Now that the cold and the silence

That you left behind you are my friends

I wonder why you padlocked up my heart

If you never meant to return

Now you’ve been gone for a long time

Run off with my heart into the night

Once I’d have thought that you’d never let me go

Now I’m alone after all
