Now You've Been Gone For Lyrics

Buffy Sainte-marie Now You've Been Gone For

Run off with my heart into the night
Once I had thought you would never let me go
Now I'm alone after all

I've sat for hours at my table
Poring over maps about our stars
All they would say is that you were always here
And, now, like a ghost, you've disappeared

Strange, how you came
like a reef up from the sea
Up from the blood in my veins

Ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba . . .

Now that the cold and the silence
that you left behind you are my friends
I wonder why did you padlock up my heart
If you never meant to return

Run off with my heart into the night
Once I'd have thought
you would never let me go
Now, I'm alone after all
