Forever Gone Lyrics - Singles - Walkabouts

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!
