Gone Again - Otis Redding

The sun is gone away

It is dark in the day

No kids are laughing

And none are playing

No flowers have grown

Since the month of May

That’s how it’s been

Since you’ve gone again

One you left without a reason

Two without a pleasing

Three with a terrible pain

Four you’re gone again

Picture a winter

Without any snow

Look up at the sky

There’s no star that glow

Picture a river

With nowhere to flow

That’s how it’s been, honey

Since you’ve gone again

One without a reason

Two without a pleasing

Three with a terrible pain

Four you’re gone again

I walked in the forest

Didn’t see no trees

Go to sleep at night

With a cold wind of breeze

I ain’t got no friends

I got cold enemies

That’s how it’s been

Honey, since you’ve gone again

Gone, gone again, gone, gone again

Gone mama, gone again, yes, you are

Where can I find you?

I need you, darling

Where can I get to you?

I want you, mama baby

I love you, darling, I need you, oh gone again

Come back to me, baby
