Now You're Gone
Black Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well now, you
Wouldn't stay
And there's not much more that I can say
But your lips
That I kissed
Will never go away
From my memory
They will remain with me
You were tied, now you're gone
There was time, now it's gone
Is this the best
We can do?
Have we come as far as we intend to?
This was comedy
It is true
I was not innocent under you
Ah my memories
They will remain with me
You were tied, now you're gone
There was time, now it's gone
Now it's gone
You were tied, now you're gone
There was time, now it's gone
Now it's gone
Ah my memories
They will remain with me
You were tied, now you're gone
There was time, now it's gone
Now it's gone
You were tied, now you're gone




There was time, now it's gone
Now it's gone, now it's gone
