[Verse 1]
Read your note this morning, 'bye-bye, girl', that's all it said
Glad I found it first before the kids got out of bed
Baked a tray of muffins, hung some wet wash out to dry
By the time the kids got up, I could look them in the eye
[Chorus]
You've gone away
You've gone away
How will I get though the day?
This god-forsaken day
[Verse 2]
Drank some bitter coffee, read your note ten times or more
When I'd washed the dishes twice, I got down and scrubbed the floor
Empty chair at supper, everybody's actin' strange
All the food just gettin' cold, kids real quiet for a change
[Chorus]
You've gone away
You've gone away
How will I get through the day?
This god-forsaken day
[Verse 3]
Rain was fallin' hard as I walked slowly up the stairs
Pushed my tears back down as I stood listenin' to their prayers
There's your empty pillow, your side's flat right to the wall
Now's the time for private cryin', now it hurts me most of all
