Gone

The clock by my bed
Counts out the minutes
The hours and the days
Since you’ve been by my side

Days past are marked
Scratched into the wall
Tracking the time
You’ve been away

Where’s the warm touch
The loving embrace
The tender kiss
You promised me?

Each day I wake
And think today
You’ll come back to me
Another X on the wall
…another tick of the clock

Where’s the warm touch
The loving embrace
The tender kiss
You promised me?
