Gone for Good Songtext
von Steve Smyth

I shot the ivory, I melted your silver
Swung that cold, cold hammer down
I may have broken your months of tears
But what I′ve lost is gone for good

I took the dollar, I gambled the dice
I sung for your blues every night
I may have wasted your precious years
But what we lost is gone for good


I could sail a boat to Asia
Take a flight to Spain
Retrace those streets I know so well of London Town
Fuck off to the West Coast to the desert alone
But what I've lost is gone for good

You shook the walls, screamed in the halls
Bit my tongue, scratched out my scars
Twisted my clause
Have you found redemption from what we caused?
That winter breeze is summertime′s curse

Now I've found a way to get all this straight
I've found a way sometimes to get laid
I show my teeth to strangers on the street
Tried two times this week to quit cigarettes
But what I′ve lost
Is gone for good
