F.O.B. (Gone Away), by Doug McKenna

I can tell you’re lying by the way you move your lips
I can tell that you’ve been crying by the way you roll your hips
And I roll over and you are gone
You’re gone away

And every star up in the sky is shining down on you
Like all the dreams that I have wasted
But were gathered up by you
And I can feel you smile from across a crowded room
But the room inside my heart don’t have a view
‘cause it don’t have you

I can tell you’re listening by the way you hold your head
And I can hear you whispering the words you thought I said
As you pass through me and lead me on
You're gone away

And every time I close my eyes I feel what might have been
The way the tide will soon erode a castle made of sand
And every wave of conversation takes another part of me
Till I surrender
Everything

I know that you’re leaving
Yeah I know your bags are packed
And I know this is real and that you won’t be coming back
But before these thoughts can make their way to words
You’re gone away
Gone away
Gone away
