She's Gone de Nofx

A blackened wick is what remains
The flame was blown out just recently
Although the candle hadn't burned down to the stick
It wont be lit again, the day wont be quite as bright

We don't know what she may have been
All we know is what she left behind
An apartment flooded with childrens toys
Photos of good times

In the bedroom there's sheets on the windows
There's a four poster bed for a reason
On the floor There's a box on the floor full of secrets
It wont be opened

Here older boys and girls would play
All inhibitions were left behind
And as the door would close
Hr face began to shine
This was her finest hour this was her finest time

Shes gone, and its not gonna be alright not for me shes gone

But not forgotten, shes still here
In all those years she tuched so many lives
Who's gonna watch that little girl she left behind?

Carol Anne stands alone in the school yard
All the other children have gone
After waiting for hours she cant understand
Why her mother left her sad-----------------

In the darkness she sees definition
In the silence she hears someone calling
After nightmares she lies in bed screaming
Theres no reaction, theres no one listening
Theres no one now shes gone
And its nbot gonna be alright not for me shes gone
