Real Gone Guy

© 2003 Words and music Anderson Toone as performed by Frankie Tenderloin & The Rent Boy$
moderate 4/4 emobilly ballad in plain D

No one wants to hear it, least of all you
They all say I'm crazy, leastways confused
But this passion surpasses; It's literally huge
No I never did lose it, Like I'm gone over you

Real gone guy, gone shy for you
Real gone guy, it's sad but true
My love is a tide, So wide and so blue
On a heart-stopping ride, sky high over you

It started out simple, Ain't it always the way?
We had rapport, repartee like they say
But truth be known, It was love at first write
All it took was the full moon, To seal this boy's plight

Real gone guy, gone shy for you
Real gone guy, it's sad but true
And if you don't love me
Don't tell me the truth
Let me lick my pride
Broke inside over you

First fell in the springtime, It was fire-jumping day
And I know that you once cared, 'til I scared you away
And now it's gone August, Ninety days since last May
But my love just grows stronger, Melt your iron heart someday

Real gone guy, gone awry over you
Real gone guy, gone die for you
And if you don't love me
Don't tell me the truth
Just wave bye-bye
And I'll fly the coop

You're my muse and my mystery, I'm a story you'll tell
'bout a forward young prince, who first stumbled, then fell
But I'm lost in the dreamtime
Where our love reigns supreme
And there I remain
Ihr leiber Augustine
