Ilena - Long Gone

Ilena - Long Gone - lyrics

I could've sworn i saw you standing at the crossing again
Then a stranger turns around and it makes sense

I would never think a night swim could bring a quiet violence
I didn't hear the sirens

I thought i saw you even though you're long gone
Not in the city for a month
And now i'm flying down to see you and for what?
You're gone
You'll never hear this song

It's hard to sit in a silent room at the best of times
(now my body's not looking right)
I wish i could only see the sea without looking for signs
(of life)
I would never think a night swim could bring a quiet violence
I didn't hear the sirens

I thought i saw you even though you're long gone
Not in the city for a month
And now i'm flying down to see you and for what?
You're gone
You'll never hear this song

And all i know is that you're long gone
Not in the city for a month
And now i'm flying down to see you and for what?
You're gone
You'll never hear this song

Wings break when angels fall on the ground
I forget how much i need my family around
So i confess; i was depressed
I didn't keep in touch as much as i should've

Now i always wear your tee, the necklaces you gave me
And i know you loved the sea and believed in higher things, so
Even though you got out early
I think you're free, least you've not left me
