I'm Gone Lyrics - These Four Walls - Shawn Colvin

There are things that I will do for a hatchet job too 

Ante up, theres a new kid in town 

But it wont take long for whats red hot and blonde 

To be ashes on the ground 

The Manhattan skyline, a bed and a byline 

Well, Ive come and Ive cradled your face 

And I wont be the last one to commit crimes of passion 

With a shoot-out and a chase 

Over and over and over and over 

Im beckoning, begging and I keep hanging on 

Going once, going twice, mercy God, Jesus Christ 

And I'm gone, and I'm gone, and I'm gone 

Well, nothing has changed since the last time I came 

Got my pride and my hat in my hand 

And I never sleep well and I still kiss and tell 

And I do not pay the band
