I'll Be Gone

Like shining oil, this night is dripping down.
 Stars are slipping down, glistening.
 And I'm trying not to think what I'm leaving now
 and no deceiving now.
 It's time you let me know.
 Let me know...

 And when the lights go out and we open our eyes -
 out there in the silence, I'll be gone.
 I'll be gone.
 Let the sun fade out and another one rise -
 climbing through tomorrow, I'll be gone.
 I'll be gone.

 This air between us is getting thinner now.
 Into winter now, bittersweet.
 And across that horizon, this sun is setting down
 and you're forgetting now, it's time you let me go.
 Let me go...

 And when the lights go out and we open our eyes -
 out there in the silence, I'll be gone.
 I'll be gone.
 Let the sun fade out and another one rise,
 climbing through tomorrow, I'll be gone.
 I'll be gone.

 And tell them I couldn't help myself
 And tell them I was alone.
 Oh, tell me I am the only one
 and there's nothing left to stop me.

 And When the lights go out and we open our eyes -
 out there in the silence, I'll be gone.
 I'll be gone.
 Let the sun fade out and another one rise, 
 climbing through tomorrow, I'll be gone.
 I'll be gone.

 I'll be gone.
