She's Gone
Ferre Grignard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My baby's gone and died on me.
She's gone but I'm not free.
Now I know just how much I loved her.
Now I just sit there and cry
Oh, yes she's gone,
Oh, yes she's gone
To that land of no return.
Got to roam, just got to travel.
Any place, any old how.
Faraway to distant places
Try to forget, forget it somehow.
Oh yes, she's gone
Oh yes, she's gone
But my baby I don't know where I'm going.
Got to go back, go back sometime,
That's where I'll stay, that's where I'll die
Got to go back, go back sometime
That's where you lay, that's where I'll die
That's where I'll go.




That's where I'll go
Oh, my precious love, that's where I'll go.

Overall Meaning

Ferre Grignard's song "She's Gone" is a sorrowful expression of grief and loss. The lyrics describe how the singer has lost his beloved and is now left alone, struggling to come to terms with the reality of his situation. He expresses his pain and confusion, admitting that now he knows just how much he loved her. The repetition of "she's gone" helps to drive home the sense of loss and finality.


Despite his pain, the singer cannot bring himself to let go completely. He feels bound to her still, unable to move on from her memory. He talks of traveling and roaming, perhaps in an attempt to escape his pain, but ultimately acknowledges that he must go back to where she is gone, where he will stay and eventually die. The final lines express his longing to be reunited with her, even in death.


The song captures the universality of loss and mourning, as well as the depth of love that can be felt for another person. The simple, repetitive structure of the song, along with Grignard's raw, emotional delivery, creates a haunting, unforgettable effect.
