-My love has gone,
-his boots' no longer by my door
-My love has gone
-and as I slept I felt him go.
New York, New York temperature's droppin'
The band's out shoppin' not stoppin' till ears pop
cops protect shops, lotsa yellow cabs and bell hops
An' it never stops.
I'm waiting to do an interview, so much to tell you
Today I feel close enough to smell you
Additional dates they were planning just fell through
Florida's out, we fly September 22 to Heathrow
So there's not really long to go
Tonight will be a brilliant show lettin' you know
I miss you more than four hits the floor at a party
Send my love to everybody
Send my love to everybody
Honey, I'm writing from DC, feelin' queasy
Stayin' healthy on the road isn't easy
The T.M. recommend Sanatogen
not one of them could resist takin' the...
I miss you like a lock on the door what's more
I go to sleep with my Walkman 'cos half the crew snore
Don't mean to be a bore, everybody's been great
But there's fifteen of us on a bus state to state
So I stay up late with a tape or meditate
By bed is travellin' at 55 mph
When we make it to L.A. I'll still be miles away
It's not my best day I'm gonna get some rest
God Bless
-My love has gone
-My love has gone
We just stopped at a diner so I'm takin' time to write a few lines.
I'm fine, sun's shinin' bus driver's reclinin' by the grass as the trucks pass
Gleamin' with a flash of sunlight from the glass on the windscreen.
As for us there's too much to relate
We've done five gigs yet we're only in our third state
America's big! You'd love how they pile up your plate
Only place in the world even I can gain weight
Our next day is Wilmington, Delaware, open air
There's a rumour Melle Mel'll be there
Anyway, All the best, God bless I'm yawning
I really miss watchin' you get dressed in the morning
-My love has gone
-My love has gone
-My love has gone
-No earthly ships will ever bring him home again.
-his boots' no longer by my door
-My love has gone
-and as I slept I felt him go.

Wow what a song, only one of two I know all the words too. Love it
about travelling, business travel possibly. being away from your loved ones. specifically, i think Maxi Jazz was lamenting about the grueling tour schedule they started soon after Faithless' popularity soared.
Whoever submitted this has missed out the choruses, which completely misses the point of the song.
The last chorus delivers the twist:
"My love has gone No earthly ships will ever bring him home again."
Meaning that she is reading the postcards after his death.
A brilliantly written, heartbreaking song. Faithless at their best.
