Gone
This came from the same period of songwriting as Birds, however the lyrics aren’t as recent.

I’ve got a little bit of everything to give you
And everything that I can bring is one more that I’ll give to you
And when I look into the sky I know I’ll see you
But if the morning sun goes down I will forgive you
I change the locks on all the doors when I am lonely
I fix the windowsill that’s broken if you’re lonely
And when I look outside the window I will see you
But if the sill still cracks I know I will forgive you
The moments pass I wait in tears for your returning
And I know every second you won’t be returning
And when I watch the door to keep my eye out for you
But I know every minute waiting I’ll still forgive you
Somehow I can’t believe that you are really missing
I feel the weight of every moment I am missing
The love to make, the plans to break just to be with you
It’s not for someone else so… I can still forgive you
I plan my day around the person that I’m loving
Even if where they are they don’t know who I’m loving
And crying long and writing songs that are all about you
But you won’t ever realize that they’re about you
Someone once said I’d find another one to live through
But I’m so scared this pain is something I can’t live through
I want the only thing I can’t have, just to be with you
But every day I gain the fleeting memory of you
I’m thirsty for a second chance when you were sorry
I didn’t mean to cry out loud you were so sorry
But I will carry on every single day without you
But even when the sun goes down I know I won’t forget you
