After You've Gone — Toto

You're just a mile away One thousand five tiny steps from here But if I brought you near Would you believe when I say It seems like yesterday That I could reach out and touch your face But as I fall from grace Into whose arms can I lay

It's always much too late We get the signs We can't communicate Or turn back time

So what will be now Do you feel somehow Not so together and not quite as strong Now I believe Alone doesn't have to mean lonely After you've gone

I need a healing wind To cool the flame burning in my sight It must accelerate For two wrongs they don't make a right

And all these solitaires, lone victories Wars fought in isolation, with none to please

(Instrumental break)

The future's still uncertain The past is done

Now I believe Alone doesn't have to mean lonely After you've gone

Now I believe Alone doesn't have to mean lonely After you've gone
