Gone Away Lyrics

i step outside and take the cold in like a pill 
then i wake up and dream it was a dream i dreamt 
that old house stuck up on a hill somewhere 
makes me cry out loud and wipe away the tears again 

how do i know that you ain't gone away 
how do i know that you ain't gone away 
heaven's on your doorstep and you ain't gone away 
they make up lies tell you things and you ain't gone away 

in the morning mist i call out your name 
but i don't hear it echo the voice of the insane 
all the memories on your window sill they keep a sweet refrain 
if all that's good's an accident i'm not the one to blame 

how do i know that you ain't gone away 
how do i know that you ain't gone away 
heaven's on your doorstep and you ain't gone away 
and knowing all the answers won't take away the pain 
now you can see the reasoning the truth of the insane 
they make up lies tell you things and you ain't gone away 

starstruck the letters on your mantlepiece 
read like death in venice on the beach 

and you ain't gone away 
how do I know that you ain't gone away 
heaven's on your doorstep and you ain't gone away 
and knowing all the answers won't take away the pain 
now you can see the reasoning the truth of the insane 
they make up lies tell you things and you ain't gone away
