After You've Gone

You're just a mile away

One thousand five tiny steps from here

But if I brought you near

Would you believe when I sayIt seems like yesterday

That I could reach out and touch your face

But as I fall from grace

Into whose arms can I layIt's always much too late

We get the signs

We can't communicate

Or turn back timeSo what will be now, do you feel somehow

Not so together and not quite as strong

Now I believe

Alone doesn't have to mean lonely, after you've goneI need a healing wind

To cool the flame burning in my sight

It must accelerate

For two wrongs they don't make a rightAnd all these solitaires

Lone victories

Wars fought in isolation

With none to pleaseSo what will be now, do you feel somehow

Not so together and not quite as strong

Now I believe

Alone doesn't have to mean lonely, after you've goneThe future's still uncertain

The past is doneSo what will be now, do you feel somehow

Not so together and not quite as strong

Now I believe

Alone doesn't have to mean lonely, after you've goneNow I believe

Alone doesn't have to mean lonely, after you've goneNow I believe

Alone doesn't have to mean lonely, after you've gone
