Cool and Gone

Bill Lloyd


A hundred million years ago 
Running to the record store 
All out of breath for you 
I caught my death for you 
That was me inside your song 
But now it feels like somethings wrong 
Like somehow you let me down 
No queen left to wear that crown 
Cool and gone 
Cool and gone 
Nothing stays the same for long 
How can   anything so strong be so cool and then be gone 

Everybody knew your name  
And everybody felt the same 
That time  belonged to you 
And you showed us what to do  
Was it you or was it me 
Who changed so much eventually 
We're left with a dream that's spent 
Still wondering what it meant 
Cool and gone 
Cool and gone 
Nothing stays the same for long 
How could anything so strong be so cool and then be gone 

No one's strong enough 
To keep that kind of faith 
Once their time has passed 
It's only fair they fade away 
A hundred million years ago 
Your the one that I lived for            
I lived inside your dream 
But now I just live for me 
Cool and gone 
Cool and gone 
Nothing stays the same for long       
How could anything so strong be so cool and then be  
Cool and gone 
Cool and gone 
Nothing stays the same for long 
How could anything so strong be so cool and then be gone 
Cool and gone cool and gone
