"We haven´t spoken in a long time, dear"

This year has gone by in a blur
Today seems everything´s gone wrong here
I´m looking for the way things were

I know you´d laugh and call me tragic
For everything´s in disarray
These rooms were always full of magic
That´s vanished, since you went away

This house is crowded now with questions
And John´s a walking questionnaire
And I could surely use a few suggestions
On how to brush our daughter´s hair
When Georgie needed explanations
You always knew just what to say
And I miss our family conversations
It´s silent, since you went away

Winter has gone
But not from this room
Snow´s left the lane
But the cherry trees forgot to bloom

I´ll carry on the way you told me
I say that like I have a choice
And though you are not here to hold me
In the echoes I can hear your voice
But still one question fills my day dear
The answer I most longed to know
Each moment since you went away dear
My question, Kate, is

"Where´d you go?"
