Morning comes darkness drops Upon this day a shadow falls Silence warps through the halls Since I've been gone, gone, gone A hundred years from today Lamplights ablaze? paves my way Till Jesus saves my early grave I will be gone, gone, gone Drop the anchor lift my heart From stem to stern I'm torn apart Mount my horse? pack my cart? Tomorrow I'm gone, gone, gone Seek the hull? leave the deck Silver moon silhouette In due time you will forget That I am gone, gone, gone I will be gone, gone, gone Since I've been gone, gone, gone Tomorrow I'm gone, gone, gone
