Noah Zacharin - Done Gone Gone

Done Gone Gone

I wake with words I might have said
stale upon my tongue
before I can reach the bottle
I taste every one
other words I might have kept inside
call me deacon at the dawn
the sun shines bright and I can’t hide

it’s a good thing you done gone gone
it’s a good thing you done gone

I never minded my life alone
I breathe easy in the dark
you came careening in overdrive
at a man contented in park
I should have seen it coming
you quickly made yourself queen to my pawn
your smile it was a hollow thing

it’s a good thing…

cause we were head and tail
hare and snail
farm and jail
rock and sail
we might both be flesh and bone
one’s precious gem
one is sinking stone
pull back
bullseye
baby’s gone

a time or two I told my life
life, let’s just pack it in
I was saved by the vision of my mother’s face
or the sound of a guitar string
often still I shiver
you might be back a little further on
all’s well that keeps going (keep going)

it’s a good thing you done gone gone
it’s a good thing you done gone
it’s a good thing you done
it’s a good thing
you’re gone
