Lyrics

My woman is gone (woman is gone), my woman is gone (woman is gone)

She had left me a note hanging on my door:
She say she couldn't take it, she couldn't take any more
The pressure around me - just couldn't see;
She felt like a prisoner who needs to be free
Fools have tried, yeah - wisemen have failed:
Oh, listen to me, honey: life could never be another jail
Still we know now: we'll never see smoke without fire
And everyone you see has a heart desire

She's gone (she's gone), she's gone (she's gone)
She's gone (she's gone), she's gone, ye-ah!
Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard
Words that I never heard?
Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard
Words that I never heard?

She made it through the exit (she just couldn't take it);
She made it through the exit (she just couldn't make it)
And, oh, my children, if you see me cryin':
My woman is gone
If you see me - if you see me - if you see me -
If you see me cryin' -
If you see me - if you see me - if you see me -
If you see me cryin':

She's gone (she's gone), she's gone (she's gone), she's gone, ye-ah!
Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard
Words that I never heard?
Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard
Words that I never heard?
She's gone (she's gone), she's gone (she's gone), she's gone
(She's gone)
