Come and Gone - Andy Irvine, John Wesley, Mark Prator

We hide… we run

We dodge, we deny

We turn from the gun and try

To live… to learn

Yet we injure the loves

That we don’t recognize

I look… to my home

See a comb or a brush

And remember the touch

Of you… who I loved

Who I wronged

Who have come and gone

You have come and gone

Though these dreams

Do fail

To yield us the promise made

Yield us the promise gave

We reel… in the wake

In the shock of the madness

The all consuming sadness

You bring… to me

The body we created

Cut by words that were

Bladed

We bleed… and move on

With scars too slow to heal

A memory too numb to

Feel

You have come and gone

Though we run from the

Coming of the light

And we hide in the shadows of our own lives

Always searching for those

Who have gone

Those who have come and gone

We feel safe in the

Cover of the night

We bury the hope

That’s in our own lives

Living crushed by lovers

Who’ve gone

You have come and gone

You fade… from my sight

From my heart you will bleed away

Then I will turn away

Of you… who I’ve loved

Who I’ve wronged

Who have come and gone
