That Girl Is Gone
Echoes of Love Lost: That Girl Is Gone by David Pack
Lyrics
*Oh that girl is gone
Expressing the absence of a significant person (the girl).
And it really doesn't matter
Indicating that the departure of the girl doesn't have a significant impact.
Who was right or wrong, yeah yeah
Emphasizing that assigning blame is irrelevant.
Oh that girl was mine
Acknowledging the past relationship with the girl.
And it hurts me so to think
Expressing emotional pain at the thought that the girl won't make an effort.
That she won't even try
Reflecting on the unwillingness of the girl to try and salvage the relationship.
That girs is gone, gone, gone, gone
Reiterating the departure of the girl.
Lord only knows
Acknowledging uncertainty about the girl's future choices.
Which way that she may go
Highlighting the uncertainty of the girl's direction in life.
Lord only knows
Emphasizing the mystery surrounding the girl's desires.
Just what she's lookin' for
Speculating about what the girl may be searching for.
I would beg her if I could
Expressing a desire to plead with the girl to return.
To come back home
Expressing a wish for the girl to come back home.
If she were here right now
Fantasizing about placing the girl in a position of honor.
I would put her on the throne
Expressing a willingness to show the girl love and appreciation.
I would make her see just how
Expressing a desire to make the girl understand the depth of affection.
That a man loves a woman, but
Reflecting on the nature of a man's love for a woman.
(* Repeat)
Repeating the acknowledgment of the girl's departure.
That girl is gone, gone, gone, gone
Reiterating the fact that the girl is gone.
Lord only knows
Acknowledging the unknown duration of the speaker's efforts to be faithful.
How long I've tried to be
Expressing the difficulty of remaining faithful to the departed girl.
Faithful to her
Reflecting on the speaker's attempts to be loyal in every aspect.
In every way
Reiterating the speaker's plea for trust from the girl.
I would beg her once again
Expressing the absence of the girl and the resulting emotional state.
To trust in me
Expressing a broken state due to the absence of the girl.
She ain''t here no more
Conveying the absence of the girl and the impact on the speaker.
And I'm a broken man
Describing the emotional turmoil of the speaker.
And it's easy to say now
Recognizing the understanding of the situation, but only in hindsight.
That I understand, but
Repeating the acknowledgment of the girl's departure.
(* Repeat)
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the girl's departure.
Yeah and it hurts me so to think
Expressing the emotional pain of considering the girl's potential satisfaction elsewhere.
That she could be satisfied
Speculating about the girl's contentment without the speaker.
That girl is gone
Reiterating the departure of the girl.
Come home to me, baby
Pleading for the girl to return home.
Oh and it hurts me so to think
Expressing emotional pain at the girl's reluctance to try and reconcile.
That she won't even try
Reiterating the emotional distress at the girl's unwillingness to make an effort.
Yeah and it hurts me so to think
Expressing the emotional pain of considering the girl's potential satisfaction elsewhere.
That she could be satisfied
Speculating about the girl's contentment without the speaker.
That girl is gone
Reiterating the departure of the girl.
Yeah yeah, oh that girl is gone
Reaffirming the absence of the girl and expressing emotional distress.
Oh the girl is gone...
Concluding the song with a repetition of the girl's departure.
