Katie's Been Gone

Katie's been gone since the spring time;
She wrote one time and sent her love.
Katie's been gone for such a long time now;
I wonder what kind of love she's thinkin' of.

Dear Katie, If you can hear me,
I can't wait to have you near me.
Dear Katie, since you've been away
I lose a little something every day

I need you here, but you're still out there.

-Richard Manuel and J.R. Robertson
