NOW SHE IS GONE

Adapted from a poem written by Patti Schmid (Ellis) 1984
Music and arrangement by Downtown and The Feelers 4/08/08

SHE'S LIKE A BEST FRIEND HELPLESSLY DYING
AS YOU SEE THE LAST BRICK FALL.
NEVER AGAIN WILL SHE BE STANDING
SO BEAUTIFUL, PROUD AND TALL.

IF ONLY SHE COULD HAVE SPOKEN
OH, THE STORIES SHE COULD'VE TOLD.
ALL WE HAVE ARE MEM'RIES BROKEN
MEM'RIES WE'LL TREASURE AS GOLD.

SHE WAS THE HEART AND SOUL OF THIS SMALL TOWN.
IT'S SUCH A SHAME TO SEE HER TUMBLE DOWN.
TUMBLE DOWN

SHE WILL BE MISSED THERE IS NO DOUBT.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED HAS MADE US FROWN.
SHE WAS WHAT THIS TOWN'S IS ALL ABOUT.
WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN.

SHE WAS THE HEART AND SOUL OF THIS SMALL TOWN.
IT'S SUCH A SHAME TO SEE HER TUMBLE DOWN.
TUMBLE DOWN.

WITH OUR LIVES WE HAVE TO GO ON.
IT'S TIMETO REARRANGE.
NOW THAT SHE'S GONE OH SHE'S ALL GONE.
THERE'S NOTHING WE CANNOT CHANGE.

SHE WAS THE HEART AND SOUL OF THIS SMALL TOWN.
IT'S SUCH A SHAME TO SEE HER TUMBLE DOWN.

SHE WAS THE HEART AND SOUL OF THIS SMALL TOWN.
SHE WAS THE HEART AND SOUL OF THIS SMALL TOWN.
