The Light Is Gone

There was no warning in the stars last night
No foreboding in the sky today
There ain’t no reason she should feel this way
But the light is gone, gone from my lover’s eyes
She’s said, I love you, so many times
She’s always assured me when I’ve had my doubts
Her friends have all told me she’s so happy now
But the light is gone, gone from my lover’s eyes
She’s still walking these halls, we’re still sharing this bed
And it’s nothing she’s done, it’s nothing she’s said
And I’m trying to believe it’s all in my head
I’ll always remember my surprise
When I first saw her looking at me
The whole world was on fire, and I was finally free
Now the light is gone, gone from my lover’s eyes
But the light is gone, gone from my lover’s eyes
