Gone Away Walter Egan

When the best of days are all yesterdays
And the rest of days leave you cold
Then don’t freeze away but just seize the day
Until your story’s told
‘Til your story’s told

Gone away that summer day all we thought was here to stay
Gone away away away oh

Do we gather time like a fine old wine
To intoxicate and confuse?
As our memories become assemblies
Of the path that we choose
Of the past that we lose

Gone away that summer day all we thought was here to stay
Gone away away away oh

Away from our time
Away down the line
Away from Piscataway

When onliness turns to loneliness
And loneliness ain’t no friend
And your confidence fights your common sense
For the chance to contend
For the chance to pretend
