Lyrics Gone Away - Walter Egan

Gone Away

When the best of days are all yesterdays
And the rest of days leave you cold
Then don’t freeze away but just seize the day
Until your story’s told
‘Til your story’s told
Gone away that summer day all we thought was here to stay
Gone away away away oh
Do we gather time like a fine old wine
To intoxicate and confuse?
As our memories become assemblies
Of the path that we choose
Of the past that we lose
Gone away that summer day all we thought was here to stay
Gone away away away oh
Away from our time
Away down the line
Away from Piscataway
When onliness turns to loneliness
And loneliness ain’t no friend
And your confidence fights your common sense
For the chance to contend
For the chance to pretend
Gone away that summer day all we thought was here to stay
Gone away away away oh
