Gone Baby Gone

from Deviation Road by Nathan Seeckts

lyrics

I sit here silent on this fence
Barbed wire sticking into my legs.
Look out towards the horizon
Wonder where them good times went
Question if you miss me
Or the roar of that Honda between your legs
Skin tight stretched body
Holding on to me like I was all that’s left.

Darling come on home
Coz I can’t spend these drunken nights alone
Through empty rooms I stumble
Searching for the answer to questions never known
Darling come on home
I’m sorry for my sins, I’m trying to atone
Down empty streets I stumble
Searching for the porch light you said that you’d leave on

But it’s gone

There’s still some clothes of yours in the wash pile
Causing your scent to hang around
And those dents in the hallway
From where you dragged your suitcase along the ground
And as I look out the dirty window
To canola fields where we used to lay
And I spun you empty promises
About just how much that I swore that I could change

Now this drunken mess
Is all that’s left
Hello darkness my old friend
