I Wonder Where You Have Gone

It's been a long time, friend

Since we've said much and then some

Sometimes I feel just fine

There are days I shrug

I think it's not meant at all

And I put down that pen and sigh

Chorus: you caught me by surprise

With that look in your eyes

And I wonder where you have gone

You have not kept me apprised

Of the tales of your life

And I wonder where you have gone

We lit up the night

But a spark's not a candle

It's as bright as a star's dying tears

When you looked at me

I saw more than just moonlight

I believed every word, every fear

Chorus

Now the wind's picked up

And the trees they are a-heavin'

Do you think that I'm to blame?

You could not bear

To wallow in this despair

You said I tried to make you change

Chorus
