Lyrics All That's Gone - Tom McRae
I
thought
I′d
write
you
a
letter,
'Bout
all
of
the
things
that
have
changed
Since
the
days
when
we
were
king
and
queen,
Of
all
that
we
surveyed.
Went
knew
all
the
coolest
places,
Wore
the
future
in
our
skin,
And
we
stood
outside
on
winter
nights
And
smoked
ourselves
thin.
And
we
were
clever
and
cynical
and
fashionably
bored,
We
were
walking,
talking,
Time
Out
New
Yorks.
But,
honey,
all
that′s
gone,
Baby,
all
that's
gone.
And
I
used
to
have
opinions
And
I
wore
them
like
my
clothes
But
what
seemed
like
a
position
Turned
out
to
be
a
pose.
And
we
said
that
we
were
both
gonna
be
big
rock
and
roll
stars
My
soul
never
found
a
buyer,
unlike
all
my
guitars.
And
I've
lost
touch
with
many
things,
Wrote
myself
out
of
the
scene,
And
time
has
worn
a
whole
in
me,
The
place
I
keep
my
dreams.
But,
honey,
all
that′s
gone,
Baby,
all
that′s
gone,
Honey,
all
that's
gone,
Baby,
all
that′s
gone.
And
I
don't
have
a
story
now,
Least
not
one
you′d
care
to
write.
These
memories
I
keep
for
me,
Bits
and
pieces
of
a
life.
And
I
apologize
for
not
dying
young
Or
opening
up
a
vein,
And
for
keeping
close
the
ones
I
love,
And
never
naming
names.
To
my
friends,
I
still
sound
hopeful,
That's
just
whistling
in
the
dark.
′Cause
I'm
down
here
in
the
dirt
With
the
fossil
of
my
heart.
But,
honey,
all
that's
gone,
Baby,
all
that′s
gone,
Honey,
all
that′s
gone,
Baby,
all
that's
gone.
So
I
hope
this
letter
finds
you
Just
as
well
as
when
we
met,
Ambitions
may
have
faded,
babe,
your
beauty
never
did.
At
night
when
I
have
drunk
enough
And
I′m
full
of
hope
and
wine,
I
recall
a
melody,
your
voice
and
mine.
So
we
can
still
be
king
and
queen,
If
only
for
tonight,
'Cause
somewhere
in
our
history,
the
future′s
shining
bright.
But,
honey,
all
that's
gone,
Baby,
all
that′s
gone,
Honey,
all
that's
gone,
Baby,
all
that's
gone.
