Get Thee Gone Lyrics

My sadness does escape me now.
I care not where I go.
The black old moon takes off my clothes,
And throws me in the snow.
I gave you all I had to tell
And you gave me your will.
Well that's enough to wind a clock,
But not enough to kill.
Go away my precious doll,
Get thee gone from here.
When I close my eyes to sleep,
Please do not appear.
I emptied out your bag of toys,
And let them spin their web,
But oddly as I watched them turn,
My love begins to ebb.
I run like blood through open doors,
I go where hope bends me.
You're in my guts but evermore
Our hearts will not agree.
Go away my precious doll,
Get thee gone from here.
When I close my eyes to sleep,
Please do not appear.
Go away my precious doll,
Get thee gone from here.
When I close my eyes to sleep,
Please do not appear.
When I close my eyes to sleep,
Please do not appear.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

@lofibri all online resources state it as black old man. Do you have a reference for it saying moon instead??

Admittedly, black old man makes more sense than moon ...

I have the lyrics from the album insert.
