Come and Gone - music and lyrics © 2000 by Ray Agnew

Here I am in the middle of my life
And I know I can feel I am fading
Most days I just shut up and take it like a man

Then I look at you; oh I remember you and me
Just ten years ago
Those days have slipped from our lives like Jamaican sand
They've just come and gone

I've always known that it's good hard work
If you want to stay in love
You don't just fall one day and then stay there all of your life

But we've got our kids and you've got your friends and I'm…
I'm somewhere between
I don't believe you think it's worth the fight

It's just come and gone
Like Jamaican sand
It's just come and gone

God I love my kids, I think their future's bright
And you've got your power walks with the girls at night
And let's not forget my job, hey it pays the bills

But where's the passion? Where's the flame?
Where's the occasional lover's game?
My empty heart is waiting to be filled

But it's come and gone
Like Jamaican sand
It's just come and gone
Like Jamaican sand

So here I sit in the middle of my life
I'm watching as I'm fading
But, hey, shut up old man! Just get on down the line

'Cause it's come and gone
Like Jamaican sand
Just come and gone
Like Jamaican sand
Just come and gone…
