She's gone, gone, I let her slip away
She was getting restless, there was nothing I could say
Except so long, so long, it's alright, it's ok
I'll miss you when you're gone, then I looked the other way
And she was gone, gone, she was far too gone
To hear me when I called to her, but maybe it was wrong of me
To make her stop & turn around for one more last goodbye
Didn't mean to make her sorry, didn't mean to make her cry
At the San Francisco airport, with the baggage all checked in
We took one last look at each other and she kissed me again
And then we nodded in agreement that this really was the end
Shook our heads in disbelief and we fell apart again
She was gone, gone, I let her slip away
I could've run off with her but instead I chose to stay
Right here with my true love - held tight to my chest
And if I had to choose again I might do the same I guess
There's a warmth here - I take comfort
I take solace, to my own self I was true
Couldn't ask her to stay - even a little longer
She was going places I'd been to
She's gone, gone, it's just me and my songs
Should've seen it coming, should've seen it all along
But it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
We each did what we had to do, and that makes it alright
There's a warmth here - I take comfort
I take solace, to my own self I was true
Couldn't ask her to stay - even a little longer
She was going places I'd been to
