Gone to Stay

Gone to stay
Gone to stay so long
Gone to stay
Gone to stay so long

Don't be ashamed
When you're drunkest in the crowd
Or reading a book on the bus
And something makes you laugh out loud
Don't be ashamed
When these strangers are gone

They'll be gone to stay

Gone away
Gone away for good
Gone away
Gone away for good

It's so hard to sleep
In a stranger's bed
No matter how soft the sheets
Or well made the spread

Don't be afraid
When these bad dreams are gone

They'll be gone to stay

Don't be ashamed
To feel lonesome in a crowd
The best way out of a hole
Is to lay that shovel down
Just throw it away
When these memories are gone

They'll be gone to stay
When these memories are gone
They'll be gone to stay
