Gone are the days

Carl Cleves

I wore a suit, drove a Mercedes Benz
To the chapel of Saint Caroline
I picked her fruit, ate all her berries
Drank all the wine and then I thrashed the shrine

Gone are the days
What you gonna do now?
You should have changed your ways
While it was time
Too late for tears
There’s only sorrow
You should have thought of that
Before the crime

My uncle Freddie was an undertaker
The best business money can buy
He said ‘boy’ and his hand was shaking
‘You will miss the water when the well runs dry’
‘You will miss the water when the well runs dry’
Gone are the days…

Hey mama, hey daddy, come and take me
Take me to higher ground
Hey mama, hey daddy I’m coming to meet you
As soon as the sun goes down
Gone are the days…

I’m standing on a bridge waiting for my saviour
Should I jump? Will I fall?
I stand ready to meet my maker
How long before the angels call?
Gone are the days…

Look out Johnny, be careful what you wish for
You can’t see the stars when the sun is high
Look out Johnny, be careful what you fish for
You will miss the water when the well runs dry
