Riding in the night
the desert stretches
eons of time
towns faraway
‘nother time and place
I’ve got to keep moving, can’t look back
she’ll call my name
but I’ve got nothing
left to say
as I ride that
Italian melodic
plane, from the Tuscan
countryside
to faraway Spain
and she’ll call my name
and sing her song
but I shall not remain
cause baby,
I’m gone
Music and Lyrics by Ren Michael
Well I can’t sit still
Thinkin’ of you still
Walkin’ way from me
Way up on the hill
And I tried baby
Yea you know I tried.
You sent me a letter
Just the other day
How I done you wrong
I’d never find a way
You could not explain
When you said that I was gone.
So when you come back to this town
When you search around,
When you call for me baby
You know you won’t hear a sound.
Cause I’m gone baby, I’m gone
I’m breaking away searching for my dawn
No I won’t say that I’ve done you any wrong
Baby I’m gone. I’m gone.
Well I wear no disguise
Look into my eyes
You say I should apologize
And you demand your pay
Lay claim to what I owe
Is that some kind of joke?
No honey I’ve paid my dues
With this game I’m through
I’ve walked alone before
Done just fine, thank you
So go ahead flip your hair
I’m sure someone will care
Did you think that when you came back here
That things would be the same
No, folks will talk of how I done cleared
And they’ll celebrate my name.
Cause I’m gone baby, I’m gone
I’m breaking away searching for my dawn
No I won’t say that I’ve done you any wrong
Baby I’m gone. I’m gone.
When I was a boy
Fresh out of school
You held out your hand
And gave me all your rules
Now here you stand
Tell me what you think I am.
So go ahead lay down your rose
And wear your best clothes
And keep calm your fire
May you never tire
May you dream baby
Of all your sweet desires
But when you wake up in the morn’
When you look up to the sky
The gods may hear you loud and clear
But you know I won’t be near.
Cause I’m gone baby, I’m gone
I’m breaking away searching for my dawn
No I won’t say that I’ve done you any wrong
Baby I’m gone. I’m gone.
