Gone Again

I think I'll bag that trip for two

And pack it up to Kakadu.

Honey, it's not for the weather

Or the lack of loving you.

I got all this in between

Something I could not foresee.

All the deals I made don't matter

If I can't just let you be.

Gone again gone again

There ain't no way I'm gonna let this heart mend

Gone again

I walked in King's Cross for a while,

Gave a junkie girl a smile.

We both trade it in for danger

Or the company of strangers.

She said all her family

Was at the welfare agency,

Then she swindled my last twenty

For a kiss and some poetry.

Gone again gone again

There ain't no way I'm gonna let this heart mend

Gone again

If I don't make Kakadu,

I'll be at the Rainbow Room.

I'll be courting some disaster

With the Melbourne wrecking crew.

Honey, all this is to say

That every dog don't got its day,

If we take the love we're given

And we throw it all away.

Gone again gone again

There ain't no way I'm gonna let this heart mend

Gone again
