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 couldnt take it she couldnt take any more.
The pressure around me - just couldnt 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: well never see smoke without fire
And everyone you see has a heart desire.

Shes gone (shes gone) shes gone (shes gone)
shes gone (shes gone) shes gone ye-ah!
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 couldnt take it);
She made it through the exit (she just couldnt 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:

Shes gone (shes gone) shes gone (shes gone) shes gone ye-ah!
Oh mocking bird have you ever heard
Words that I never heard?
Oh mocking bird have you ever heard
Words that I never heard?
Shes gone (shes gone) shes gone (shes gone) shes gone
(shes gone)
