Never Knew You Were Gone testo

Careful, don't let the screen door slam
The carnival's open, but that spring in the middle might bite the hand
The moon's full, it's light from the hiding sun
There's flowers in the carpet but dad's staring bullets
At some cowboys and Indians

Gone in a silvery fire
Gone right over to the other side for a little while
Barking at the TV screen
Gawking at the beauty queens
But they never knew you were gone

You're faithful to the call of the borderline
You noticed a hog-nosed snake and that takes a willing vision to bring to life
The skyful is burning with angel eyes
The stars up in the heavens shine like the horns
Of a celestial front line

Gone in a silvery fire
Gone right over to the other side for a little while
A different world through an open door
A cicada on a sycamore
They never knew you were gone
They never knew you were gone

January sunrise over the pines
A tall one's broken under snow that fell for days of hours
And it's peaceful, but there's no one to listen now
There's silence in the city, the keys to the kingdom
Have been buried deep underground

Gone in a silvery fire
Gone right over to the other side for a little while
Barking at the TV screen
Gawking at the beauty queens
But they never knew you were gone
They never knew you were gone
