she's gone Lyrics

She's gone 
And it's quiet now 
Took her mother with her 
Left town 
Took her mother's eye 
Stole her mother's heart 
It's a compromise 

We nurture that part and she's gone 
Says she can walk now 
Says she can walk now 
Seen her walking 
She totters and falls 
And when I'm not looking 
Leans onto the wall 
And she'll hold on to me only when she wants 
And she'll fall and be up again 
It's part of the fun 
But she's gone 
Thinks she can walk now 
Thinks she can walk now 
Thinks she can walk 

She's gone 
And it's quiet now 
Took her mother with her 
Left town 
Took her mother's eye 
Stole her mother's heart 
It's a compromise 

We nurture that part and she's gone 
And it's quiet now 
Took her mother with her 
Left town
