On the morning of her wedding day
When no one was awake
She drove across the border

Leaving all the yellow roses on her wedding cake
Her mother's tears, her breakfast order


She's gone, gone, gone

There is a moment, a chip in time

When leaving home is the lesser crime
When your eyes are blind with tears
But your heart can see

Another life, another galaxy

That night her dreams are storm-tossed as a willow





She hears the clouds
She sees the eye of a hurricane
As it sweeps across her island pillow


But she's gone, gone, gone


There is a moment, a chip in time
When leaving home is the lesser crime
When your eyes are blind with tears

But your heart can see
Another life, another galaxy
