Gone
I can't look back on yesterday
yesterday means pain
I'm time's prisoner
yesterday you were here
yesterday you were near
how can words describe the missing
when there is no salvation
you're not coming back
when there is no way
nothing I can say
I'm stuck here cold and alone
thinking of you
in disbelief you're gone
trying to escape to the past
when we had a home
you gave me warmth
and joy in my soul
you made me whole
I live for the day when
I get to see your smile again
paint me a sign in the sky
I'm still wondering why
God had to take you so soon
now your light shines
on the other world
