Real Gone Indio Saravanja

he met her in a bar on a wednesday night
'neath the bandstand light the only woman with an empty glass
he found an empty seat and it was next to her
and he wasn't sure if she was someone he had known in the past
they never spoke a word until the second set
and they couldn't stop talking once their eyes met
and when the band went home they never noticed there was nothing on
but he could hear the ocean and the wind and rain
feel the rush of blood when she spoke his name
like she was in his veins
to take him home and he was real real gone

she met him at the docks in her cut off jeans
she was long and lean, hair shining and her skin so tanned
showed him to her truck and put his bag in the back
put the keys in his hands and sat beside him like he was her man
and she seemed so different from the ones before
who never seemed to know what they were looking for
she seemed to want him more
it was a drug he had never been on
they drove around heaven and the sun all day
made love all night you know it was that way
he knew he had to stay
always beside her he was real real gone

he loved her more than he loved himself
more than she knew herself he wanted her to be his wife
she made him feel like he was a king like he had everything
but then he almost lost his life
cause she wore him down until he couldn't see
with her jealous ways and insecurities
and as the years rolled past it cost him more and more to roll it along
but he stood right by her through the games and lies
and he couldn't find the strength to leave her crying eyes
when she apologized
and said she loved him he was real real gone

you came this morning just before the dawn
in a dream so long a hall of mirrors that would never end
and everywhere I turned I had to look at you and you were laughing too
I thought I'd never make it out again
you stared me down and you refused to speak
I woke up with tears burning down my cheeks
in the arms of a woman who can love me in a way that's strong
she whispered low and she held me tight
and she let me know that it was still alright
to stay all night
and reassured me you were real real gone

now I've been working in the North for a diamond mine
and where the North begins you know it's always been a moving line
some people say that's where the heart broken go
the only thing i know is that I'll love her til the end of time
well I make good money and I pay the rent
and I know more or less how my money's spent
you know I ain't got someone like her around to play me the con
and I don't know how but my will's returned
I got a drive to live and a desire to burn
all of the pictures of the lessons I learned
when I got real gone
