I'm Gone Songtext
von Shawn Colvin

There are things I will do
For a hatchet job too
Ante up, there′s a new kid in town
But it won't take long
For what′s red hot and blond
To be ashes on the ground

A Manhattan skyline
A bed and a byline
Well I've come and I've cradled your face
And I won′t be the last one
To commit crimes of passion
With a shootout and a chase


Over and over and over and over
Beckoning, begging, I keep hanging on
Going once, going twice
Mercy God, Jesus Christ
And I′m gone, and I'm gone, and I′m gone

Well nothing has changed
Since the last time I came
Got my pride and my hat in my hands
And I never sleep well
And I still kiss and tell
And I do not pay the band

Over and over and over and over
Beckoning, begging, I keep hanging on
Going once, going twice
Mercy God, Jesus Christ
And I'm gone, I′m gone, I'm gone
And I′m gone, and I'm gone, I'm gone
