Lyrics Come and Gone - Andy Irvine, John Wesley, Mark Prator

Come and Gone

We hide… we run
We dodge, we deny
We turn from the gun and try
To live… to learn
Yet we injure the loves
That we don’t recognize
I look… to my home
See a comb or a brush
And remember the touch
Of you… who I loved
Who I wronged
Who have come and gone
You have come and gone
Though these dreams
Do fail
To yield us the promise made
Yield us the promise gave
We reel… in the wake
In the shock of the madness
The all consuming sadness
You bring… to me
The body we created
Cut by words that were
Bladed
We bleed… and move on
With scars too slow to heal
A memory too numb to
Feel
You have come and gone
Though we run from the
Coming of the light
And we hide in the shadows of our own lives
Always searching for those
Who have gone
Those who have come and gone
We feel safe in the
Cover of the night
We bury the hope
That’s in our own lives
Living crushed by lovers
Who’ve gone
You have come and gone
You fade… from my sight
From my heart you will bleed away
Then I will turn away
Of you… who I’ve loved
Who I’ve wronged
Who have come and gone
