lyrics

Gone Tonight – words and music by Edward Hartline

There’s a sad old man by the edge of the road
With his final words on the tip of his tongue
So he knows what to say when he goes.
In the light of the night on the edge of the world
There’s a lonesome girl with the past in her hands
And the future is on her back, so she cries.
Oh, she cries.

Oh tonight, where the smiles don’t reach their eyes
Oh tonight, ‘cause their hearts are cold as ice
Oh tonight, they’re gone tonight.

There’s a little boy in the streetlights now
With his whole life ahead and the eyes of a king
But he’s tied down, searching for a short way out.
There’s a broken man with a crooked grin
His eyes are worn and his smile thin
Oh, he’s wishing he had reached the end,
The end of him.

Oh tonight, where the smiles don’t reach their eyes
Oh tonight, oh the hearts of shattered lives
Oh tonight, where the smiles don’t reach their minds
Oh tonight, they’re gone with their lives
And oh, tonight, they’re gone tonight.
