When something's gone it's gone for good
But now that you've gone I wish that you would
Have turned around and left another time
Instead of leaving town with so much on your mind

Oh the riches of the world won't bring you back
Nor a yearning as deep as any sea
And all the books upon this earth can't tell me where 
you've gone
Wherever you are won't you save a place for me
Wherever you are save a place for me

I waited at the door for you to knock
Minutes then hours passed up on the clock
Did I fall asleep and dream that you phoned
Saying don't worry love I'll be coming home

Nor a yearning as deep as any sea
And all the books upon this earth can't tell me where 
you've gone
But wherever you are won't you save a place for me
Wherever you are save a place for me

I see you in the blue of the summer sky
In visions of the rain and in the moon up on high
I feel your hand in every living space
And everywhere I look I always find your trace

Oh the riches of the world won't bring you back
Nor a yearning as deep as any sea
And all the books upon this earth can't tell me where 
you've gone
But wherever you are won't you save a place for me
Wherever you are save a place for me
