Birds up in the sky, you know what I mean. Breeze on which they fly, you know what I mean. Sunlight through the trees, you know what I mean. She went away. River running free, you know what I mean. Roll out to the sea, you know what I mean. This desert's lonely tree, you know what I mean. She went away. Now I'm free to roam this great big land I know. Since you went away, the colors seem to fade, But I know it's not the light. Seas of golden grain, you know what I mean. The thunder in the rain, you know what I mean. How can all this pain come from one ordeal? She went away.
