Gone, gone in the wink of an eye
Swore to be one until we should die
Night has replaced the light in your eye
And morning informs on my dreaming
If only I'd listened to your sad complaint
My voice was loud and yours was so faint
I thought on the lines of a new coat of paint
When our love was needing repairing
Gone, gone in the wink of an eye
Swore to be one until we should die
Night has replaced the light in your eye
And morning informs on my dreaming
Jimmy our son he puts on a brave face
But I hear him crying for one more embrace
And Jane's been so quiet since you left this place
Afraid she'd a part in your going
Gone, gone in the wink of an eye
Swore to be one until we should die
Night has replaced the light in your eye
And morning informs on my dreaming
I've learnt my lesson guilt falls like rain
Storm clouds will linger till you ease the pain
We need you so much, won't you come back again
The doors being unlocked since your going
Gone, gone in the wink of an eye
Swore to be one until we should die
Night has replaced the light in your eye
And morning informs on my dreaming
The night hears me praying, what more can I do?
The pillow we shared is often wet through
When lights cross the curtain I'm thinking that's you
But morning informs on my dreaming
Gone, gone in the wink of an eye
Swore to be one until we should die
Night has replaced the light in your eye
And morning informs on my dreaming
Gone, gone in the wink of an eye
Swore to be one until we should die
Night has replaced the light in your eye
And morning informs on my dreaming
Morning informs on my dreaming
