Never Knew You Were Gone

Careful, don't let the screen door slam The carnival's open That spring in the middle might bite the hand The moon's full, its light from the hiding sun There's flowers in the carpet The dead staring bullets as on, "Cowboys and Indians" Gone in a silvery fire Gone right over to the other side For a little while Barking at the TV screen Gawking at the beauty queens They never knew you were gone You're faithful to the call of the borderlinе You noticed a hog-nosed snake That takеs a whirling vision to bring to life The sky full, it's burning with angel eyes The stars up in the heaven They shine like the horns of the celestial frontline Gone in a silvery fire Gone right over to the other side For a little while A different world through an open door The cicada on a sycamore They never knew you were gone They never knew you were gone January sunrise over the pines A tall one's broken Under snow and filth and days of ours And it's peaceful, but there's no one to listen now There's silence in the city The keys to the kingdom have been buried deep underground Gone in a silvery fire Gone right over to the other side For a little while Barking at the TV screen Gawking at the beauty queens They never knew you were gone They never knew you were gone
