Shirley Simms - Always Already Gone lyrics

[Verse 1: Shirley Simms] I tried hard to keep you I needn't have tried It seems you'd decided When did you decide? So this is the last time I cry in the dawn It seems you were always Always already gone [Verse 2] You never were happy You had to be free You took all the freedom You needed from me Then you and your freedom Flew thither and yon You're free to be always Always already gone [Verse 3] I couldn't have dreamed you But I might as well You leave me with only A story to tell But at the beginning Our story is done Because you were always Always already gone...
