Gene Pitney - 24 Sycamore w/ LYRICS

24 Sycamore - "Gene Pitney" - Year Song Released 1963

I`ve just lost a lifetime.
I have just lost my mind.
So Mr World, look after that girl.
The one that I just left behind at 24 Sycamor.

Where did my baby go? Wh-o-o-o-o-o-oh.
Who`s gonna mend my rainbow?
Who`s gonna separate all the swimming around,
Back there on the ground.?
Flowing right under the gate of 24 Sycamor'
Where did my baby go? Wh-o-o-o-o-o-oh.

Windows black, watched me crying and they said.
It`s all over, you have lost her.
Why don`t you run away?
What could I say? I said.

Where`s the hand that I used to hold?
Once so warm but tonight so cold.
Now she`s gone we both must share the pain.
She gone.

My life is done, it`s ended.
Just one more thing to do.
I`ll take a last look, and then close the book.
On someone that I once knew at 24 Sycamor.

Where did my baby go? Wh-o-o-o-o-o-oh.
Where`s the hand that I used to hold?
Once so warm but tonight so cold.
Now she`s gone, we both must share the pain.
She gone and I say,

(fading)
Where`s the hand that I used to hold?
Once so warm but tonight so cold...
Now she`s gone we both must share the pain.

R.I.P. Gene!! An amazing talent!!

[kimmixxxxxx]

I read that Gene started off as a song writer and everyone else sang his songs...What a waste! He has the most beautiful voice I have heard..There is nobody who sounds like him, at all. That is truly unique!!!!

@DavidDiamond56 Heh... Same here...

I remember going to see him in 2006 at The Cresset in Peterborough and it was the first concert I'd ever been to. He made my first concert experience an amazing one. My mum and I were going to see him again the same place the following year, sadly, of course he'd passed away.

SONG was not released in 1963 it came out in late 1969 or 1970

heard it on the radio in Detroit and took me 35 years to find it late one night on the old Napster

As much as I love the music of Gene Pitney in this case I prefer the Wayne Fontana version of this song, still enjoy this version though.

Thanks for the info. I did know about the Wayne Fontana version but always thought Gene's was the original. He recorded it in late 1966 and it appeared on the UK track listing of his Just One Smile album.

Jarvis Cocker was wise to show this song to us who didnt know it

[hudois]

I'm a great admirer of the late brilliant Gene Pitney's vocal talents, but I've got to admit that Wayne Fontana's original version of this definitely has the edge. I bought it in 1967. It should've been a smash back then. Also so should "Come on Home" Get the mono version, without the echo on the vocals.

Can does somehave the version of this song by Wayne Fontana??

DavidDiamond56. Your post really resonated with me. I too heard this song again after very many years and it moved me as much as the first time. It is a brilliantly stirring ballad.
