Carmen Lundy - Now That He's Gone

Taken from the album This Is Carmen Lundy, a jazz album full of Carmen's original songs. Highly recommendable.

Now That he's Gone

Now that he's gone, she can't get started
She counts the hours, 'till his return
The magic's gone, but the passion lingers on

Now that he's gone, she's brokenhearted
She lights a candle, the flame still burns
The moments pass, she waits her fate to learn
If he's coming home

She cries herself to sleep each night
He doesn't show or call or write
When morning comes, he'll still be gone

She cries,
Don't stay away, don't stay away too long
Don't stay away too long
Don't stay away
Away too long, too long, away

He said he needed some time to get away
She's holding on to yesterday
She's still in love but lost and all alone

Now that he's gone
Now that he's gone
Gone
