MAYBE AFTER HE'S GONE
(Chris White)
The Zombies
She told me she loved me
With words as soft as morning rain
But the light that fell upon me
Turned to shadow when he came
Chorus:
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, want me again
Verse 2:
I remember joy and pain
Her smile, her tears are part of me
I feel I'll never breathe again
I feel life's gone from me
(repeat chorus)
All the days and all the nights
Are time just passing by
And all the dreams I'm dreaming now
Hide the tears that I cry
Verse 3:
(first line instrumental)
I feel so cold, I'm on my own
As the night folds in around me
Night surrounds me, I'm alone
(repeat chorus (w/piano only first two lines))
(repeat chorus)
Chorus (a capella):
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
After he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
From the very first time I heard that song, I thought he was murdering her current flame in order to get back with her. I pictured him singing it while digging a hole for the body and crying, on a cold, rainy night. The music had a sort of sinister mood to it....I dunno, listen to it and tell me if you think it might be plausible or I'm just a sick mind teenager.
