Gone like the Wind
Gone Like the Wind: A Soul's Journey from New York to River City
Lyrics
I was never meant to live here in New York City
I never intended to live in New York City.
There's a longing in my soul for my home
I feel a deep desire in my soul for my home.
Out on the banks of River City
My home is on the banks of River City.
That's where I'm a gonna go
I plan to return to River City.
Honey, I'll be gone like the wind
I will leave swiftly and without a trace.
Honey, I'll be gone like the wind
Repetition of the intent to leave swiftly.
When you have a change of heart
When you change your mind and return,
And you come back round again
I will already be gone.
Honey, I'll be gone like the wind
Reiteration of the intention to leave swiftly.
I came here chasing dreams and money
I came to New York pursuing dreams and wealth.
Trying to make the dowry you were owed
I attempted to fulfill the dowry owed to you.
Day after day, I was putting cash away
Every day, I saved money for this purpose.
But darling I can't afford your soul
But I cannot afford the essence of your being.
Your heart is hard like these northern winters
Your heart is as cold as the northern winters.
Lately, I'm chilled to the bone
I am emotionally chilled to the core.
I miss the warm sunshine of River City
I long for the warmth of River City.
So honey, that's where I'm gonna go
So, I will return to River City.
Honey, I'll be gone like the wind
I will leave rapidly and without a trace.
Honey, I'll be gone like the wind
Repetition of the intent to leave swiftly.
When you have a change of heart
When you reconsider and return,
And you come back round again
I will have already departed.
Honey, I'll be gone like the wind
Reiteration of the intention to leave swiftly.
Tomorrow, there's a train from union station
There's a train from Union Station tomorrow.
Tomorrow, I'll pack my things and go
Tomorrow, I'll pack my belongings and leave.
When you come home to find
When you return and find no trace of me,
No trace of me inside
I will have disappeared without a trace.
Honey, I'll be gone like the wind
I will leave swiftly and without a trace.
Honey, I'll be gone like the wind
Repetition of the intent to leave swiftly.
Honey, I'll be gone like the wind
-Honey, don't you cry
Don't be sad, my departure doesn't require goodbyes.
We don't need no goodbyes
We don't need to say farewell.
Honey, I'll be gone like the wind
I will leave swiftly and without a trace.
