Tom P Buckley

Lyrics

[Intro]
[strummed acoustic guitar]
[Verse 1]
[male vocals enter]
Sat on a man of life
It wasn't a person
Sat on a man and cried
But nobody listened
Talked about all she loved
But it goes away
Now she doesn't know she was
It's gone, it's gone, it's gone away
[Chorus]
[sustained vocal notes]
Oh, gone to stay
Oh, gone to stay
Oh, gone to stay
Gone, gone to stay
[Verse 2]
Sat on a supermarket floor
Nobody else at all
And when she got up and she left
Embarrassed and maybe in debt
She didn't want to hear nothing at all
No person at all
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Bridge]
[vocal intensity increases]
Oh, gone to stay
Oh, gone to stay
Oh, gone to stay
[Outro]
[acoustic guitar continues]
They all wait for the wind
To carry us home again
They all wait for the wind
Like it's never come again
Saw a stone on the breeze
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, she was wise, wise, wise
She don't mind
Oh, she was wise, wise, wise
She don't mind
Oh, she was wise
Oh
[acoustic guitar fades out]
