She's Gone (2/3/2020)
They set their expectation
She said "boy, are you mistaken"
"Just watch me" drive through the picket line
They said she couldn't do it
She'd say ain't nothing to it
"Just watch me" walking straight into the sky
We have been here before
On the hospital floor
I'll be sleeping right there next to you
You know that we're all scared
That you won't know we're there
Because you can't open your eyes like you do
Can you hear me?
Do you know I'm here?
Can you feel me?
When I whisper in your ear?
I'm here
I'm here
They say wait
Oh wait for me
She can't wait
She's got somewhere to be
Can you hear me?
Do you know I'm here?
Can you feel me?
When I whisper in your ear?
She's gone
She's gone
