Then You Were Gone Lyrics & Chords By Cairo

And from a deeper sleep I was awakened
Hours yet until sunrise
An eerie whisper called me to a strange new place
I'd known long ago
And as the swirling clouds grew calm before me
Unearthly beauty filled my mind

Suddenly from inside, I felt your touch
Like the warming sun, and I knew that I must
Follow your steps - search all the world just to find you
... Then you were gone

In the dusty heat of Moroccan streets
I thought I saw your raven eyes
But after tripping through the crowded market stalls
Not a trace of you could I find
My heart was pounding as I ran down narrow alleyways

Mountains and desert sands I've journeyed in vain
The very thought of you commands my soul and I have
Followed your steps, so many times I thought I had found you
... Then you were gone

I would cross raging fire for you
I could climb to the sky

As if on fabled streets of burnished gold
Through ancient dreams I've wandered
Have I been hypnotized, as I've staggered on
Through city and wilderness
My life will never ... never, never be the same

I followed your steps
So many times I thought I had found you
Then you were gone

I would cross raging fire for you
I could climb to the sky
