U Stay Gone by Cadillac Sky
U Stay Gone lyrics
Day after day I stare down this road
And this clock in my chest just ticks away
Night after night I go to bed alone
Oh, how long must I wait
Don't you know it ain't supposed to end this way
Oh, the river rolls to the sea
Thru the mountains, thru the trees
Winding it's way to that ocean foam
And the pigeon flies from it's master's hand
Don't rest it's wings 'till it's back again
Riding the wind where it belongs
So, tell me baby why you stay gone
I've played it in my head hundreds of times
The day God brings you back to me
The dark clouds will scatter and a new sun will rise
Brighter than a child's dream
Oh, when will my faith be redeemed?
The wayward son leaves his father's side
Headed for those city lights
But always stumbles on the road back home
The yellow moon hides it's face
'Till the night is thru at the break of day
But never leaves the lonely alone too long
So, tell me, baby why you stay gone
The silence whispers you're not coming back
The buzzards hover waiting to attack
But our love ain't dead and gone
Someday you're coming home at last
