Gone

Listen sister have you heard about the holiday

Were it the other day

I fell asleep, now she's gone away

So won't you tell me all the secrets

that I need to know

Before I go and throw it all away

Before I go and throw it all away



Maybe there's a couple things that I should have done

Or I could have done

Well I don't know, but she'd still be here today

If I just changed my old perspectives or my attitude

Or the things I do

Well maybe she'd have never gone away



Chorus (done twice):

    I am done, take me home [al. & Chuck]

    She gave up a long time ago [Rob]

    Take the time, take the time [al. & Chuck]

    It's a shame he's the last to know [Rob]



So I'll just sing another song about the love and loss

to get my point across

Bestowing words of wisdom on the way

Unless you'd rather hear another one about the rain

or the singer's pain

and the important things that he has to say



Chorus (twice)



Bridge x 4: Rob on lead

      (parts are sung simultaneously)

They were happy in another place

     (Turn back the hands of time [Al and Chuck] )

Always thought they'd get by [all]

Woke one morning, and he heard her say

     (Turn back the hands of time [Al and Chuck] )

Why'd I waste all of my time. [all, only Rob on last refrain]



instrumental (Chuck solo)



Bridge x 4
