Ilena - Long Gone

I could've sworn I saw you standing at the crossing again
Then a stranger turns around and it makes sense
I would never think a night swim could bring a quiet violence
I didn't hear the sirens
I thought I saw you even though you're long gone
Not in the city for a month
And now I'm flying down to see you and for what?
You're gone
You'll never hear this song
It's hard to sit in a silent room at the best of times
(Now my body's not looking right)
I wish I could only see the sea without looking for signs
(Of life)
I would never think a night swim could bring a quiet violence
I didn't hear the sirens
I thought I saw you even though you're long gone
Not in the city for a month
And now I'm flying down to see you and for what?
You're gone
You'll never hear this song
And all I know is that you're long gone
Not in the city for a month
And now I'm flying down to see you and for what?
You're gone
You'll never hear this song
Wings break when angels fall on the ground
I forget how much I need my family around
So I confess; I was depressed
I didn't keep in touch as much as I should've
Now I always wear your tee, the necklaces you gave me
And I know you loved the sea and believed in higher things, so
Even though you got out early
I think you're free, 'least you've not left me
