William and Georgia Lyrics by Alex the Astronaut

Notes from an Astronaut

2017

[Verse 1]
William had always painted pictures of Georgia
And now she was gone, no sun has sworn
Seemed to deserve any colours that sat on his palette
He'd build whole castles with the words of Georgia
Now it's breakfast alone, so quiet at home
So he read through a note
That she'd wrote him some four years ago
[Chorus]
It said, "Na-na-na, na-na-na
It's gonna be lonely when you're gone
Na-na-na, na-na-na
It's gonna be lonely when you're gone
And all of the planes and the trains take you away
In a year, I could just be a name
Na-na-na, na-na-na
It's gonna be lonely when you're gone"
[Verse 2]
He kept replaying the night he lost Georgia
When they cried at the gate, he said he wished you could stay
She said, "We're just standing in each other's way"
He knew out there smiling somewhere was Georgia
With her friends and cheap wine, they laughed as they cried
That wildfire could make hungry lions adore her
[Chorus]
He'd say, "Na-na-na, na-na-na
It's gonna be lonely when you're gone
Na-na-na, na-na-na
It's gonna be so lonely when you're gone
And all of the planes and the trains take you away
In a year, I could just be a name
Na-na-na, na-na-na
It's gonna be lonely when you're gone"
[Verse 3]
Time went by and Will forgot Georgia
He had a long happy life, two girls and a wife
He painted them castles into the night
The other day, he saw a picture of Georgia
Her hair had gone grey, but her smile had stayed
The curtains were open, it'd worked out okay
He remembered the night when they sang
[Chorus]
"Na-na-na, na-na-na
It's gonna be lonely when you're gone
Na-na-na, na-na-na
It's gonna be so lonely when you're gone
And all of the planes and the trains take you away
In a year, I could just be a name
Na-na-na, na-na-na
It's gonna be lonely when you're gone"
