She's Gone lyrics

Song information

Artist: Daryl Hall
Album: Can't Stop Dreaming

Lyrics

Everybody's high on consolation

Everybody's trying to tell me what is right for me

My daddy tried to bore me with a sermon

But it's plain to see that they can't comfort me

Sorry, charlie, for the imposition

I think I've got it, got it -- I've got the strength to carry on, ohh yeah

I need a drink and a quick decision

Now it's up to me, ooh what will be

Chorus:

She's gone, she's gone

Oh i, oh I'd --

I'd better learn how to face it

She's gone, she's gone

Oh i, oh I'd --

I'd pay the devil to replace her

She's gone, she's gone

Oh I -- what went wrong?

Up in the morning, look in the mirror

I'm worn as her toothbrush hanging in the stand

My face ain't looking any younger

Now I can see love's taken her toll on me

[Chorus]

Think I'll spend eternity in the city

Let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away

The pretty bodies help dissolve the memories

But they could never be what she was to me

[Chorus 2x, plus ad lib fade]
