Song Description

a tribute to a friend now deceased.

Lyrics

[verse 1]
[now that you're gone]
there is no colour or rhyme
[now that you're gone]
we've drunk the last of the wine
[now that you're gone]
(it seems that) love is a crime
you've reached the end of the line
cuz memories are all you've left
behind

[verse 2]
now that you're gone
and left with-out trace
now that you're gone
life's just an empty space
now that you're gone
no-one to fill your place
was it too fa-st a pace _?
for you _ to take _
was life _ too hard _ to face _?

[bridge]
late nights in chelsea bars
scribbled notes
& cheap guitars
life had never tasted quite so fine

but the future came & went for us
young dreams all turned to dust
now you are gone
and I'm not far be-hind

[verse 3]
now that you're gone
flowers no longer bloom
now that you're gone
there's a ghost in my room
now that you're gone
the future's coming too soon
are you still there in the gloom?
waiting for the train by the light of the moon
