(N. Bottini)



She closed the door of their house

She didn't make any noise

Then she looked at the clock in the street

It was 5 a.m., the air was quite cold

She had no bags in her hands

On her face were no tears

But she kissed her man twice when she left

He was sleepin' in the warmth of their bed

Now she's gone



CHORUS:

Oh Tommy, oh Tommy

Just sit and wait for her at home

Oh Tommy, oh Tommy

She will come back when she has grown



Slept for a while on that bus

She didn't know where it was goin'

Just knew that it was goin' to take her away

And away was enough

She didn't care about love

About what she once had in her life

Just wanted to find something to soothe the hunger

That burned in her heart

Man, she's gone



CHORUS



Once more he found that

Tomorrow is always so fleeting

She left him with thousands of questions

But carried the answers with her

Wonderin' about what is right

He just waits for the day when

His love will be weakened enough

And the pain will turn into anger

Yeah, she's gone



CHORUS
