She said if I ever deceive her
She'd be gone before I could count ten,
I guess that I didn't believe her;
Oh just look at the trouble I'm in.

[Chorus]
Now she's gone, gone, gone,
Gone, gone, gone, cryin' won't bring her back
The more that I cry, the faster that plane flies
Father across the sky.

Well I lost every right to be happy,
Well I lost all the Heaven I found
She warned me she'd leave and she left me,
Before my first tear hit the ground.

[Chorus]

If I only knew where I could find her
Well I'd crawl there on my hands and knees.
'Cause each tick of the clock will remind her
That she's one second farther from me.

[Chorus: x2]

Farther across the sky.
