“Long Gone”    (Barrett)             
She was long gone, long, long gone
She was gone, gone, the bigger they come
The larger her hand 'til no one understands
Why for so long she'd been gone.

And I stood very still by the windowsill
And I wondered for those I love still
I cried in my mind where I stand behind
The beauty of love's in her eyes.

She was long gone, long, long gone
She was gone, gone, the bigger they come
The larger her hand 'til no one understands
Why for so long she'd been gone.

And I borrowed a page
From a leopard's cage
And I prowled in the evening sun's glaze
Her head lifted high to the light in the sky
The opening dawn on her face.

She was long gone, long, long gone
She was gone, gone, the bigger they come
The larger her hand 'til no one understands
Why for so long she'd been gone.

And I stood very still by the windowsill
And I wondered for those I love still
I cried in my mind where I stand behind
The beauty of love's in her eyes.
She was long gone, long, long gone.
