lyrics

Gone, Gone, Gone
©Jerry Axson

I’ve been thirty years down in the dark, thirty years damn near tore me apart,
I’ve been gone, gone, gone...
Well I saw a lot of my old friends there - some made it out and some did’nt care -
they were gone, gone, gone...
I had an idea of what I thought I could be, it was all so clear - it was plain to see -
gone, gone, gone...
I worked real hard to hone my skills, devoted myself until I reshaped my will -
I was gone, gone, gone...

I climbed up the mountain to the ridge at the top,
it took me a lifetime but I didn't stop,
I had one way to go and that was straight up,
no, I’ll never crawl again...
I’ve been beaten and cheated and left for near dead,
too numb to think for the crap in my head,
but it’s all behind me now -
no, I’ll never crawl again...

I never thought about time on my hands, too young too fast to understand,
gone, gone, gone...
the measure of success was a place in my mind, that came and went leaving me behind,
gone, gone, gone...
One by one I sold my dreams away - piece by piece I leveled the clay,
gone, gone, gone...
I’ve been thirty years down in the dark, thirty years just about tore me apart -
I’ve been gone, gone, gone...

To me simplicity is the root of all great thoughts. The secret thrill for me, the architect, is delivering that thought with unobtrusive complexity. Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
