‘No Simpler Now You’re Gone’.
Music and Lyrics by Thomas Carter. Copyright Verlaine Records 2009.
It’s hard to disappear from somewhere you know,
It’s hard to close those roads,
But it’s the end, now, I know.
Feels like I’m loosing my voice,
My hope in that choice,
That nothing can break us apart…
That nothing can break us apart –
But you set your heart,
***
On someone else, that you need more than me,
On someone else, when I believed it was me,
On someone else, that you seek more than me,
Now all of my time is through.
***
Seems lately I put all my trust in God,
Well I gotta trust someone,
It’s no simpler now you’re gone,
It’s just easier to fall.
But you still made up still made your mind,
You’re finished, outta time,
And I’m alone, when I need you most.
***
I need someone else, who can be more to me,
I need someone else, when it was you that I believed,
I need someone else, who can give these things to me,
Now that all of my time is through.
Now that all of my time is through.
***
You have my number, and if you call,
I’d stop everything, change it all,
My work, my heart, my soul,
They need you, and I’d go,
Wherever you told me to go.
