Gone

GONE
They say it's getting warmer- it takes a little time
There's music in the cafe now, drinks all in a line
No one knows the time they say, and no one knows the day Half of us don't give a damn and the rest just stay away

Gone
Something's gone
I saw it in a headline, I read it in a psalm
It slipped into the courtroom when the judges were all gone Then drove across the country toward the southern border wall

We sit across the table, I counted off the steps
But the lights have all been broken- we can't see past ourselves I'd like to call you brother but the bridges have all burned
And the things you say without a mask bring darkness to this world

*Gone
There's broken wings and crippled creeks and crooked little hearts
And the man who brought us Paradise has laid down his guitar
He sang Angel from Montgomery  It's a Big Old Goofy World
And there's hope in knowing everywhere some people know the words....

*Gone
(3rd line- It slipped onto the highway where the Grapes of Wrath have gone)
It used to be four Horsemen, now it's just a single one

They say in Revelation that doom will finally come
There's a rider in the White House and Liberty has run Everywhere you turn these days, there's another smoking gun

*Gone
