They Are Gone - Lyrics - Hanker

He's rocking his chair With nobody around him He is in despair Perhaps they've forgotten So he waits with tears on his cheeks Hoping they'll come see him for a while Maybe they'll come... Will they all come? He feels in the air An angel around him He'll pretend he's not there Still hoping they'll come see him Yet he has been fair with them Why don't they come see him for a while Maybe they're gone... Could they be gone? He stands up off his chair Though it's so hard for him He's not ready to go yet So the angel says to him You have always been fair with them You gotta follow me now and when they come They'll say he's gone... Too late he's gone! Why don't we get closer to the elders Knowing time won't stand still for the reaper So he stays there reliving his past He stays there wondering why they won't come He feels so forsaken! Why don't we get closer to the elders Knowing time won't stand still for the reaper He stays there Reliving his past He stays there Hoping for someone to talk with He stays there Asking why they wouldn't come Too late The angel has come Sorry I'm gone Yes I'm gone So long I'm gone Damned! He's gone!
