"Gone, Gone, Gone" is a really touching love song that comes with a redeemable rider. The singer (Phil Phillips) proclaims his undying love that will last long after his "Baby" is gone. (Where she may have gone is undetermined.) But he says he'll be there to help at any time, offering even to shut down the city lights and carry her away from war. He'll do anything for her and love her forever. But listen carefully--there's a lesson to be learned valid for all times. In the midst of his proclamation of eternal love is a verse: "Give me reasons to believe That you would do the same for me. And I would do it for you."
Nothing in life is free: you don't get anything for nothing. There's always a price, even if the buyer is willing to pay.
BTW I think this may be the only song ever written with lyrics that include the word "poultice."
