Gone, Gone, Gone
Enduring Love Through Adversity
Lyrics
When life leaves you high and dry I'll be by your door tonight
Promise to be there when someone feels abandoned or helpless.
If you need help, if you need help
Repeated assurance of readiness to assist.
I'll shut down the city lights, I'll lie, cheat, I'll beg and bribe
Willingness to go to extreme lengths to aid, even through dishonest means if necessary.
To make you well, to make you well
Reiteration of the commitment to aid in recovery.
When enemies are at your door I'll carry you away from war
Pledge to protect from adversaries or conflicts.
If you need help, if you need help
Repeated willingness to provide assistance.
Your hope dangling by a string, I'll share in your suffering
Willingness to empathize and share burdens in difficult times.
To make you well, to make you well
Reaffirmation of dedication to healing and support.
Give me reasons to believe,
Request for justification or reasons to trust.
You wouldn't do the same for me
Expression of doubt about receiving similar assistance in return.
And I would do it for you, for you
Commitment to providing help regardless of reciprocity.
Baby I'm not moving on
Declaration of not moving forward without the person.
I'll love you long after you're gone
Promise to continue loving the person even after their departure.
For you, for you
Reiteration of commitment to love and support.
You will never be alone
Assurance of constant companionship.
I'll love you long after you're gone
Promise of enduring love even after the person's departure.
And long after you're gone, gone, gone
Emphasis on persistent love and support after the person leaves.
When you fall like a statue I'm gonna be there to catch you
Promise to be there to support and prevent a fall or failure.
Put you on your feet, you on your feet
Commitment to help the person regain stability.
And if your well is empty not a thing will prevent me
Promise to assist even in the absence of resources.
Tell me what you need, what do you need
Seeking clarity on the person's needs.
I surrender honestly
Complete surrender and honesty in the commitment.
You've always done the same for me
Recognition and gratitude for past support from the person.
So I would do it for you, for you
Reaffirmation of readiness to help.
Baby I'm not moving on
Assertion of not moving on without the person.
I'll love you long after you're gone
Promise to love the person even beyond their departure.
For you, for you
Reiteration of commitment to love and support.
You will never be alone
Assurance of constant companionship.
I'll love you long after you're gone
Promise of enduring love even after the person's departure.
And long after you're gone, gone
Emphasis on persistent love and support after the person leaves.
You're my back bone, you're my cornerstone
Describing the person as essential and foundational.
You're my crutch when my legs stop moving
Dependence on the person during difficult times.
You're my head start, you're my rugged heart
Recognition of the person's importance and emotional support.
You're the pulse that I've always needed
The person is described as vital and necessary.
Like a drum baby don't stop beating
Comparison of the person's significance to a heartbeat, signifying continuity and essentiality.
Like a drum baby don't stop beating
-Like a drum baby don't stop beating
-Like a drum my heart never stops beating
-For you, for you
Reaffirmation of commitment to love and support.
Baby I'm not moving on
Declaration of not moving forward without the person.
I'll love you long after you're gone
Promise to love the person even after their departure.
For you, for you
Reiteration of commitment to love and support.
You will never be alone
Assurance of constant companionship.
I'll love you long after you're gone
Promise of enduring love even after the person's departure.
When you're gone, gone
Emphasis on persistent love and support after the person leaves.
You'll never be alone, I'll love you long after you're gone
Reassurance that the person will never be alone.
When you're gone, you're gone
Reiteration that even after departure, the person will not be alone.
You will never be alone, I'll love you long after you're gone
Assurance of constant companionship even after departure.
And long after you're gone, gone, gone
Emphasis on persistent love and support after the person leaves.
You will never be alone, I'll love you long after you're gone, gone, gone
Final reaffirmation of enduring love even
