Port 23 – Come And Gone lyrics

I'll never forget
the days we spent
on your front porch
throwing darts into the wind -- pondering
exactly what it meant to be
what it meant to live

and the next day in the sun
in your backyard
by the pool
we'd fathom all the world's strange ways -- anyway
the world seemed like
such a simple place

the days they came
they came and went
the fields, your porch grown over
the misdirection and sin -- the silly grin
the years I saw before
is/are here no more
--not here to bask in

[CHORUS]
the years have come and gone
together the battles we had won
against the world stood misconstrued
the years have come and gone
together the battles we had won

I'll never forget
the days I spent
out in the dark
wondering where to go -- you'd konw
what I could never know
you said to me "it is time to go"

[CHORUS]

But you came back today
said "it's just not the same
it's now what we had planned

it's been altered by the sickest thing
adulterated impurely
by the poison known as man"
