My love has gone

His boots no longer by my door

He left at dawn and as I slept, I felt him go

[Loop of Erik Satie, as in Pet Shop Boys' Jack The Lad]

New York, New York, temperature's droppin'

The band's out shoppin', not stoppin' 'til ears pop

Cops protect shops, lots of yellow cabs and bellhops

And it never stops

I'm waitin' to do an interview, so much to tell you

Today I feel close enough to smell you

Additional dates they were plannin' just fell through

Florida's out, we fly September 22 to Heathrow

So there's not really long to go

Tonight will be a brilliant show

Lettin' you know I miss you

More than four hits the floor at a party

Send my love to everybody

Please, send my love to everybody (everybody everybody everybody...)

Send my love to everybody (everybody everybody everybody...

Honey, I'm writin' from D.C., feelin' queasy

Stayin' healthy on the road isn't easy

The TM recommend Sanatogen

Not one of them could resist takin' the piss

I miss you like a lock in the door what's more

I go to sleep with my Walkman 'cos half the crew snore

Don't mean to be a bore, everybody's been great

But there's fifteen of us in a bus state-to-state

So I stay up late with a tape or meditate

My bed is travellin' at fifty-five mph

When we make it to L.A., I'll still be miles away

It's not my best day I'm gonna get some rest

God bless

My love has gone

(wo wo)

My love has gone (has has has ...)

(wo wo)

We just stopped a diner so I'm takin' time

To write a few lines. I'm fine, sun shinin'

Bus driver's reclinin' on the grass as the trucks pass

Gleamin' with a flash of sunlight from the glass

On the windscreen. As for us there's too much to relate

We've done five gigs but we're only in our third state

America's big! You'd love how they pile up your plate

Only place in the world even I could gain weight

Our next date is Wilmington, Delaware, Open air

There's a rumor Melle Mel'll be there

Anyway, all the best, God bless I'm yawning

I really miss watching you get dressed in the morning

My love has gone

(wo wo)

My love has gone

(wo wo)

My love has gone

No earthly ships will ever

Bring him home
