Gone Away - Walter Egan

When the best of days are all yesterdays

And the rest of days leave you cold

Then don’t freeze away but just seize the day

Until your story’s told

‘Til your story’s told

Gone away that summer day all we thought was here to stay

Gone away away away oh

Do we gather time like a fine old wine

To intoxicate and confuse?

As our memories become assemblies

Of the path that we choose

Of the past that we lose

Gone away that summer day all we thought was here to stay

Gone away away away oh

Away from our time

Away down the line

Away from Piscataway

When onliness turns to loneliness

And loneliness ain’t no friend

And your confidence fights your common sense

For the chance to contend

For the chance to pretend

Gone away that summer day all we thought was here to stay

Gone away away away oh
