Since You Went Away - Jon Allen

Dark clouds in a dark sky

Is all that I can see

This melancholy feeling

Has got the best of me

Ever since you went away

The sun don’t shine no more

There’s a cruel wind at my door

And the world is cold

Lately I’ve been living

With a shadow on my heart

The day has lost its glory

The night has lost its spark

Ever since you went away

The sun don’t shine no more

There’s a cruel wind at my door

And the world is cold

With the waking of the dawn

My sleeping heart forgets you’re gone

So I reach out for you

But all that’s there is pain and I’m alone again

I go out in the evening

Where there’s people, where there’s life

I tell my troubles to a stranger

But nothing seems to make it right

Ever since you went away

The sun don’t shine no more

There’s a cruel wind at my door

And the world is cold
