Frank left in '96
After suffering fools for decades.
And the music stopped
Like it often does for small chunks of time.
Then it starts again.
But he's gone
And the sun still shines.
He's gone to stay.
He's gone, he's gone.
It's done, so long.
He's gone.
Frank left your shimmering blue
After taking it out on thursday.
And you cried
Like you often do for small chunks of time.
Then you smiled.
But he's gone
And the sun still shines.
He's gone, to stay.
He's gone.
He's gone and done it this time.
He's gone.
What else can I say to you?
What would make it clear?
That I like it here-
I like it here,
Livin' with you.
But when I'm gone,
The sun will still shine.
When I'm gone to stay.
When I'm gone, when I'm gone,
You, too, will be fine,
When I'm gone.
