Consider Me Gone

by Mark Lucas & the Dead Setters

/

lyrics

She left years ago or so it seems
Now she’s packed her bags & shelved their dreams
And there’s that look in her eye that says she won’t be back
Until hell freezes over or white turns black
She said I’m tired of that same old song
Consider me gone

I thought their love was a miracle I must admit
It’s a miracle it lasted as long as it did
Now there’s no going back there’s no doubt
Since she opened her mouth and the words came out
She said we just got it wrong
Consider me gone

Consider me history that don’t repeat
A wrong way sign on a one way street
That symphony that remains incomplete
Now you’re out of time ‘cos you missed a beat

They’d been together twenty odd years
That’s most of his adult life it appears
Now he’s gotta work out where he belongs
And who owns that copy of Blonde on Blonde
She sent a postcard from The ‘gong
Consider me gone

Consider me history that don’t repeat

Of course you never dream that it’ll come to this
When reach for her hand & you steal your first kiss
Now you’re sitting alone in the still of the night
With a picture postcard hid out of sight
‘cos the message read ‘Dear John, Consider me gone’
