Bobbie's Gone Lyrics - Gliding Bird - Emmylou Harris

(Emmylou Harris) 

Beneath her clothes her heart is breaking 

Spends her mornings making lines 

Though her pain is real and aching 

All she owns are borrowed lines. 

Doesn't know which side to be on 

Though she's trying every door 

Only needs the floor she sleeps on 

All she asks is a little more time. 

Bobbie's gone to California 

I won't see her anymore 

Bobbie's gone to California 

Like she did the year before and the year before.

The day she left her shirt was clinging 

To her back wet with rain 

I watched her leave, heard her singing 

A song she wrote when Christmas came. 

Bobbie's young but getting older 

The face she shows is not her own 

Winter's near, it's getting colder 

California's called her home, home again. 

Bobbie's gone to California 

I won't see her anymore 

Bobbie's gone to California 

Like she did the year before and the year before. 

The mirror gives back no reflection 

Of shadow she will not see 

It understands she needs protection 

Of what she swears she has to be. 

Photos 

Bobbie's nights are empty tables 

Hold her till she's made to leave 

Bobbie's dreams are empty fables 

She makes herself believe to be free. 

Sometimes she cried because of visions 

Of what she loved had all been sold 

There's not much left no one to listen 

To the echoes that she holds. 

How could I tell her when she's fading 

She run out of a place to be 

There will be no one waiting 

For the poetry of her soul. 

I won't see her anymore 

Bobbie's gone to California 

Like she did the year before 

And the year before...
