the magnetic fields - always already gone

[nightskywarlock]

i tried hard to keep you
i needn't have tried
it seems you've decided
when did you decide?

so this is the last time
i cry in the dark
it seems you were always
always already gone.

you never were happy
you had to be free
you took all the freedom
you needed from me

then you and your freedom
went hither and yon
you're free to be always
always already gone.

i couldn't have dreamed you
but i might as well
you leave me with only
a story to tell

but at the beginning
our story is done
because you were always
always already gone.

always already gone.

for the day. dedicated to everyone to whom it needs to be dedicated.
