Gone Again

Think I'll bag this trip for
two pack it up for Kakadu
And honey it's not for the weather
or the lack of loving you
I got all this in between something
I could not foresee
And all the deals I've made don't matter
if I can't just let you be

Gone again, it's gone again
There ain't no way that
I'm gonna let this heart mend
Gone again

Walked in King's Cross for while
gave a junkie girl a smile
People trade it in for danger
or the company of strangers
She said all her family
is at the welfare agency
As she swindled my last twenty
for a kiss and some poetry

Gone again it's gone again
There ain't no way that
I'm gonna let this heart mend
Gone again

If I don't make Kakadu
I'll be at the Rainbow Room
And I'll be courting some disaster
with the Melbourne wrecking crew
Honey, all this is to say
every dog don't got its day
If we take the love we're given
and we throw it all away

Gone again it's gone again
There ain't no way that
I'm gonna let this heart mend
Gone again it's gone again
There ain't no way that
I'm gonna let this heart mend
