Generate meaning
1
I opened the paper, there was your picture
2
Gone, gone, gone by your own hand
3
I couldn't believe it, the paper was shakin'
4
Gone, gone, gone by your own hand
5
I know I'm gonna spend the rest of my lifetime wondering why
6
You found yourself so badly hurt you had to die
7
I opened the paper, there was your picture
8
Gone, gone, gone by your own hand
9
The phone started ringing, had I heard about it?
10
I shook every time I heard it ring
11
What was my reaction? I put the phone down
12
That was the only news that was fit to sing
13
They ask about dylan, about macdougal street and third
14
Question piled on question and each question more absurd
15
I opened the paper, there was your picture
16
Gone, gone, gone by your own hand
17

18
Oh, I remember "there but for fortune",
19
There but for fortune you and I would go
20
Fortune turned it's back on you,
21
Or so it must have seemed to you,
22
Christ alone knows what was the final blow
23
The last time I saw you, the last time I saw you,
24
Bleeker street outside the other end
25
I told you I'd see you, I got distracted
26
I never saw your face again
27
I heard that you were feeling stronger every day
28
I heard that you were well with good things on their way
29
Then I opened the paper, there was your picture
30
Gone, gone, gone by your own hand.
31
