JPF Home Page Forums Week 49 MP3/Lyric Pick: "Somebody Told Me You Were Gone"

Hello everyone.

As there are a lot of posts now, this one's to help make things easier.

Here's my last rewrite to date, plus the link to listen to a rough tape of the song.

A NURSE JUST TOLD ME YOU WERE GONE

Verse 1
The cat is crouching near the fish bowl
A man is waving on the screen
The kids are sighing in their dreams

Verse 2
Some clouds are gathering in silence
A car is coasting down the street
The upstairs neighbors do not sleep

Chorus
I DROP THE PHONE AND LET MY BODY DO ITS BEST
I WISH YOU COULD HAVE SEEN THIS DAWN
I COULDN’T BE THERE; SOMETHING’S PILING UP ON MY CHEST
A NURSE JUST TOLD ME YOU WERE GONE

Verse 3
I’m standing right here by the window
The night is creeping off the square
You’ve never sat down in that chair

Verse 4
The clock is ticking hours and seconds
I clear my throat and say a prayer
I don’t want the kids to think life’s unfair

Chorus
I DROP THE PHONE AND LET MY BODY DO ITS BEST
I WISH YOU COULD HAVE SEEN THIS DAWN
I COULDN’T BE THERE; SOMETHING’S PILING UP ON MY CHEST
A NURSE JUST TOLD ME YOU WERE GONE

Verses 5 & 6 (instrumental)

Chorus
I DROP THE PHONE AND LET MY BODY DO ITS BEST
I WISH YOU COULD HAVE SEEN THIS DAWN
I COULDN’T BE THERE; SOMETHING’S PILING UP ON MY CHEST
A NURSE JUST TOLD ME YOU WERE GONE

Chorus out
I DROP THE PHONE AND LET MY BODY DO ITS BEST
I WISH YOU COULD HAVE SEEN THIS DAWN
I COULDN’T BE THERE; SOMETHING’S PILING UP ON MY CHEST
A NURSE JUST TOLD ME YOU WERE GONE
A NURSE JUST TOLD ME YOU WERE GONE
