Analysis of Gone
The wind carries me away
Upon the day I swore
To leave this bay
Of a forgotten shore
But your love I will keep
Burried until tomorrow
While the birds cheep
Of all my sorrow
Towards my burdened past
Of which I burn
Much too fast
WHile I yearn
Now stowed away
My heart can shine
Or slowly decay
Until you are mine
To keep forever
A promise to show
Or my heart will sever
And my blood will flow
From anger within
Causing all this pain
Soothing your skin
In abandoned rain
