	Story Behind the Song Gone Away at first glance seems to be about losing the love of your life. Actually the story is quite different. Mattie had a chilhood friend while growing up who lived a couple of doors down the street. One day Mattie went to visit her little friend and discovered that she and her family had moved away. The house was empty. Mattie stood there as the sun set looking into the empty house as tears rolled down her tender cheeks. For years she has tried to find her childhood friend...she is still looking. This song can relate to all who understand what loss feels like...it is a pain all its own. Lyrics Gone Away Why did you go? Why did you have to leave me? Was I to know I'd never see you ...ever Always will think of you the sweetness of your being locked inside memories can always bring you to me No picture frame Holds any trace of you But still the same I can remember you A soul I could talk to... and always understand Someone to share my world with Just make me live again Closed door Empty Room Spirits gone Like a Sunday afternoon Sun sets Evenings grey Light fades You've gone away Why did you go? I guess you had to leave me No one will know the silence of my grieving I still hold to... the child inside your eyes Laughter of innocence I ran so fast and only found a Closed door Empty Room Spirits gone Like a Sunday afternoon Sun sets Evenings grey Light fades You've gone away The echoes fall From moments of the past so within myself I find some comfort there I'm weaving a tapestry One that you'll never see Why did you have to leave me and Where did you go I wonder Closed door Empty Room Spirits gone Like a Sunday afternoon Sun sets Evenings grey Light fades You've gone away Gone away Gone
