I'm Gone
Paul Maged Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I'm on the great lawn in Central Park
What a beautiful day to forget who you are
Looking to the sun for a fast resolve
That'll clear my spirit of it's hazy fog

Well I'm coming to the end of a long long road
And I've taken my time and I've put up a fight
The circle of life yeah it comes and goes
And it's time for goodbye

I'm gone
Like a comet in the night
I'm gone
Like the rolling of the dice
I'm gone
Out of mind and out of site
I'm gone

Funny how the days bleed into the years
And how memories become our souvenirs
I'm done doing time in this cold rat race
So I'll leave it behind and i'll follow my fate

Burning throughout the inner fire's rage
While I've given some good, I've taken some bad
It's always hard to put the past away
I gave it everything I had

Now I'm gone
Like a comet in the night
I'm gone
Like the rolling of the dice
I'm gone
Out of mind and out of site
Long gone

Yeah I'm gone
Like a ship gone out to sea
I'm gone
Like a beauty or a beast
I'm gone
On a mission to be free
Long gone

Nothing's absolute, doubts and fears
Precious energy, fleeting years
Everybody's gonna have their say, if you rise or fall
Risking obscurity doesn't sound bad at all

Well I'm taking a ride north of pretty far
What a beautiful day to forget who you are
There's a fork in the road and a path to choose
No matter my fate I got nothing to lose

Well I'm coming to the end of a labor of love
And I've taken my time and I've put up a fight
The circle of life yeah it comes and goes
And it's time for goodbye

'Cause I'm gone
Like a comet in the night
I'm gone
Like the rolling of the dice
I'm gone
Out of mind and out of site
Long gone

Yeah I'm gone
Like a ship gone out to sea
I'm gone
Like a famine or a feast
I'm gone
On a mission to be free




Long gone
Yeah I'm gone
