gone - built to spill

Here the wayside
meets the road
have to carry
half the load
down the backroads
with you go
all the letters
that you've wrote
now its gone
how can you ever say why
now its gone
how can you ever say why?
i've been walking
all night long
you've been sleeping
prayers and song
when you're wanted by the sun
you will get a gift from dawn
now you know
how can you ever say why
now you know
how can you ever say why
i'm alone now
in your room
drawing plans
for afternoon
don't you want to
go outside
take a walk
or take a ride
now its gone
how can you ever say why
now its gone
how can you ever say why
(x2)
leave your troubles
leave your fear
we'll get back
to those next year
will you choose
or change your mind
take a walk
or take a ride
now i'm
happy and never say why
now i'm
happy and never say why
