[Verse 1]
Came home tonight and the lights weren't on
Keys wouldn't turn and the fires wouldn't burn
And no one came to greet me on the lawn
[Refrain]
Where does it go after it's gone?
[Verse 2]
When I asked the neighbors, I asked your friends
They said you were somewhere up around the bend
[?] twirling your new baton
[Refrain]
Where does it go after it's gone?
Where does it go after it's gone?
[Bridge]
[?] in between
Ten floors down in a house of dreams
And I ain't found a trace or clue nowhere
[Verse 3]
From the tallest mountains to the valleys below
I've been as far as any man can go
And still no [?] answer how I come upon
[Refrain]
Where does it go after it's gone?
Where does it go after it's gone?
Where does it go after it's gone?
