My woman is gone (woman is gone)
My woman is gone (woman is gone)

She had left me a note hanging on my door
She say she couldn't take it, she couldn't take any more
The pressure around me just couldn't see
She felt like a prisoner who needs to be free
Fools have tried, yeah wisemen have failed
Oh, listen to me, honey, life could never be another jail
Still we know now we'll never see smoke without fire
And everyone you see has a heart desire

She's gone (she's gone), she's gone (she's gone)
She's gone (she's gone), she's gone, yeah
Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard
Words that I never heard?
Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard
Words that I never heard?

She made it through the exit (she just couldn't take it)
She made it through the exit (she just couldn't make it)
And, oh, my children, if you see me cryin'
My woman is gone
If you see me, if you see me, if you see me
If you see me cryin'
If you see me, if you see me, if you see me
If you see me cryin'

She's gone (she's gone), she's gone (she's gone), she's gone, yeah
Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard
Words that I never heard?
Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard
Words that I never heard?
She's gone (she's gone), she's gone (she's gone), she's gone
