Story Behind the Song
I wrote this song about three years ago, performed it in a few concerts, and then it kind of fell back into the woodwork to make way for more recent songs. But it still help potential, which is why I dredged it back up. I'm glad I did.
Lyrics
Dm G7
Where have you gone, my one and only?
C Am
Why have you gone to leave me here?
F G
Why have you gone to leave me lonely,
C Am
When you know I need you near?
I haven’t heard your voice now
For two weeks and a day.
And you’ve been on my mind both day and night
Aw, since you’ve gone away.
Now I don’t think I’ll sleep well,
I haven’t for so long.
I’ve lain awake most every night,
Wond’rin’ where you’ve gone.
I only see your face now,
In my dreams and clouds above.
But I think, I know, in my heart and soul,
I know that this is love.
Dm
So why’d you leave me?
G7
Why won’t you call?
C
I need you, babe,
Am
I need it all…
F-G-C-Am
[Bridge]
It’s the silence that hurts me baby,
The distance and the pain.
And I wonder so much just when you’ll say
Our love has been in vain.
The impending storm grows every day,
Yea, swirlin’ in my mind.
The hail and ice, bitter and cold,
And I hope our love won’t die.
But confidence is hard to find
When your love’s so far away.
When you can’t hold her close just when you want,
Yet you need her day by day.
I called your house, the phone rang,
But no one picked it up.
And I don’t know just where you are,
I guess it’s just my luck.
So gimme a call when you get the chance,
I won’t be goin’ anywhere.
I’ll wait right here for a welcome sign
From the girl I see so clear.
