Love and Loss

Oh, the ballad of love and loss A tale that's oft been told Of hearts that break and love that's lost Leaves a heavy weight on one's soul Once, I loved a fair maiden Her beauty like the morning sun But she left me, without warning And my heart was undone I wander now, through fields and forests Searching for what I've lost But she's gone, and I am left with The ballad of love and loss The wind sings through the branches Of the trees that line the way But all it brings is sorrow As I think of her each day Oh, the ballad of love and loss A sorrowful song to sing But though my heart may be broken I'll keep on living For one day, I'll find my way To a love that's pure and true And the ballad of love and loss Will be but a distant memory, a hue.
