Pretty One Now Gone

- Dreamer; Marner (arr. Stimson)

INST ((violins/birds flying))

I wrote you songs.
I heard your voice.
I thought of you.
I did everything I knew that I needed to.
And now you've gone away --
They tell me there's gonna be another day,
But I still need to say that I love you.
But with you so far away,
I don't know where to go,
And the words, they don't ever seem to flow
Like they used to.

The relationships of today
Are such temporary things.
They break like guitar strings
And fly away on wings....

INST MIDDLE

I write you songs.
I hear your voice.
I think of you.
I do everything I know that you'd want me to.
But still you're miles away.
My heart has turned into a heart of clay,
And I never got to say that I love you.
I stand alone out in the rain.
I want to go home.
And my mind, it won't ever seem to roam
Like it used to.

The relationships of today
Are such temporary things.
They break like guitar strings
And fly away on wings....
I was never afraid to shake things,
But now, I think I might break things,
For I know they just don't make things
Like they used to.
