Consider Me Gone Lyrics by Sting

Bring on the Night

1985

[Intro]
You can't stay there
You can't stay there
You can't stay there
You can't stay there

[Verse 1]
There were rooms of forgiveness
In the house that we share
But the space has been emptied
Of whatever was there
There were cupboards of patience
There were shelf loads of care
But whoever came calling
Found nobody there

[Chorus]
After today, after today
Consider me gone

[Verse 2]
Roses have thorns
And shining waters mud
And cancer lurks deep
In the sweetest bud
Clouds and eclipses
Stain the moon and the sun
And history reeks
Of the wrongs we have done

[Chorus]
After today, after today
Consider me gone

[Verse 3]
I've spent too many years
At war with myself
The doctor has told me
It's no good for my health
To search for perfection
Is all very well
But to look for heaven
Is to live here in hell

[Chorus]
After today, after today
Consider me gone
Consider me, consider me, consider me gone
Consider me gone gone
