When you go, be gone

When you go, be gone,
Don’t stay.
Turn off the light,
Shut the door tight,
And face the night
And leave, don’t stay.
He shouldn’t feel a trace of guilt
He shouldn’t feel a hint of guilt
There is no such thing as guilt
On a warm summer night like this. 

When you go, be gone,
Don’t stay.
Give away all computer games,
Give away all the empty frames,
Give away your pain and shame,
And leave, don’t stay.
He shouldn’t feel a trace of guilt
He shouldn’t feel a hint of guilt
There is no such thing as guilt
On a warm summer night like this. 

When you go, be gone,
Don’t stay. 
Keep the glove he dropped in your car,
Keep his smile, keep his scarf,
Keep the card he’d sent from afar.
Then leave, don’t stay.
He shouldn’t feel a trace of guilt
He shouldn’t feel a hint of guilt
There is no such thing as guilt
On a warm summer night like this. 

When you go, be gone,
Don’t stay. 
You can leave him a warm embrace,
You can leave him an empty space,
Or leave without a trace.
But leave, don’t stay.
He shouldn’t feel a trace of guilt
He shouldn’t feel a hint of guilt
There is no such thing as guilt
On a warm summer night like this. 

When you go, be gone,
Don’t stay.
