| She had left me a note hanging on my door:
|
| She say she couldn’t take it, she couldn’t take any more.
|
| The pressure around me — just couldn’t see;
|
| She felt like a prisoner who needs to be free.
|
| Fools have tried, yeah — wisemen have failed:
|
| Oh, listen to me, honey: life could never be another jail.
|
| Still we know now: we’ll never see smoke without fire
|
| And everyone you see has a heart desire.
|
| She’s gone (she's gone), she’s gone (she's gone),
|
| She’s gone (she's gone), she’s gone, ye-ah!
|
| Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard,
|
| Words that I never heard?
|
| Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard,
|
| Words that I never heard?
|
| She made it through the exit (she just couldn’t take it);
|
| She made it through the exit (she just couldn’t make it).
|
| And, oh, my children, if you see me cryin':
|
| My woman is gone.
|
| If you see me — if you see me — if you see me —
|
| If you see me cryin' -
|
| If you see me — if you see me — if you see me —
|
| If you see me cryin':
|
| She’s gone (she's gone), she’s gone (she's gone), she’s gone, ye-ah!
|
| Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard,
|
| Words that I never heard?
|
| Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard,
|
| Words that I never heard?
|
| She’s gone (she's gone), she’s gone (she's gone), she’s gone
|
| (she's gone) |
