Already Gone Songtext
von Waterdeep

Page by page of black and white cartoons
I kept ′em by my bed in a cardboard box
I read 'em one by one on summer afternoons
Lonely upstairs with all the ticking clocks

And you were elsewhere like you always were
Until you tumbled in to make a scene
And then you came in, raised your gavel up
Ladies and gentlemen, let the court convene


All these years, I been keeping it light
Tryin′ to make it all right, put up a good fight
But now I'm thinking that I knew all along
about it And how that farewell that I wanted to come
Was never gonna come. How could I have been so dumb?
When I tried to find you, you were already gone

Brick by brick, I found my own way to be
To fashion something like a landing strip
I always said you helped me get to my feet
I never noticed how you tried to trip me

Instead you tripped, yourself, and like a rolling wave
You had to crash into the waiting shore
And you just lay there,
battered by the sea Completely spent and then you paid some more

I saw you as a hero and a hero gets enshrined in a place on high
So when I picked you up at destination
zero, I should have told that hero goodbye
I could never bring myself to that, but maybe now the time has come
