Written by Jerry Cantrell



All dreams have died along the way

I coughed up the price, I bought a cage

I've had a hell of a time since I went away

Don't know when I died or where to lay down



Gone, gone away

Yeah, gone, gone away



God knows I've tried, I'm dyed in pain

Strong yet simple drive, the freedom to say

I've had a hell of a time since I went away

Homing on traces of light, that distance fades



Repeat chorus



So they say with time we slowly heal

I caught a flash of your smile throught the fog of a dream

I'll have a hell of a time, I clearly see

I can't be by your side, I'll see you when I sleep



Now you're gone...gone away

Yeah you're gone...gone away
