Oak Mountain - Now You're Gone (Acoustic)

I was so young then
My heart was full of gold
Chasing all the four winds
And you, my love, to hold
I was maybe reckless
I sowed our fields in vain
The winter came and wrecked us
As it swept across the plains

You were a liar
Like a lion in the dark
Looking for someone
Just to tear that soul apart
There's never a last one
Just another foolish mark
So you're gone, now you're gone.

You were so young then
Your smile so full of grace
With softly whispered amen's
Every time I kissed your face
But you were looking through me
So soon as I was gone
You hopped upon the last seat
Of the first train at dawn

No one ever told me that love would be so strange
No one ever told me that you would ever change
Now you're gone.

I've become so old now
So far beyond my years
Sympathies are sold out
To the cold profiteers
You left me like a cool breeze
You left me on my own
To wrestle with your mem'ries
And a heart bled to stone
