Shes Gone — текст песни (nofx)

A blackened wick is what remains

The flame was blown out just recently

Although the candle hadnt burned down to the stick

It wont be lit again, the day wont be so bright

We dont know what she may have been

All we know is what she left behind

An apartment cluttered with childrens toys,

Photos of good times

In the bedroom, theres sheets on the windows

Theres a four poster bed for a reason

Theres a box on the floor full of secrets

It wont be opened

Here older boys and girls would play

All inhibitions were left behind

As the door would close, her face began to shine

This was her finest hour, this was her finest time

Now, shes gone, and its not gonna be alright, not for me

Shes gone, but not forgotten, shes still here

In all those years she touched so many lives

Whos gonna watch the little girl she left behind?

Carol anne stands alone in the school yard

All the other children have gone

After waiting for hours,

She cant understand why her mother left her sad

In the darkness she sees definition

In the silence, she hears someone calling

After nightmares, she lies in bed screaming

But theres no reaction

Theres no one listening, theres no one

Now, shes gone, and its never gonna be alright, not for me,

Shes gone
