Forever Gone lyrics

Streaks of light
On the graveyard walk
Your bright star was crashin`
Crashin` the dark
Dreamed of a cold night
To freeze it in place
Dreamed of ship bells and thunder
Ringin` us under
Dreamed all the way home
That you`d never go
Talked up and down it
Mornin`, noon and night
Alone in the optimists chair
Said our instincts were right
But now I know the clean choice
Was the worst choice of all
I`d rather feel guilt
Than this desert inside
I`d rather steal wicked
Than lay down in pride
Gone forever
Forever gone
Made a mess of this town
But that`s what we always do
Throwin` glass to the floor
Now it`s cuttin` right through
More than a year`s time
`Til ya give up the scheme
My wood matches meltin`
The ghosts from your wedding ring
Never trusted fate
But I wish that I had
Fate is what answered
Your slow cry for help
Fate was your motive
Your fate was yourself
Gone forever
Forever gone
Made a mess of this town
But that`s what we always do
Throwin` glass to the floor
Now it`s cuttin` right through
Gone forever
Forever gone
I`d rather feel guilt
Than this desert inside
I`d rather steal wicked
Than lay down in pride
Seems like a long time... oooh!
