Where's Love Gone
Peeled your shadow from the chasms in my mind
Plucked it out, threw it away
Nothings left now not one thing left to remind
Me of those tearful yesterdays
Wiped away those stains from your cheating lies
Soaked them up, in crumpled heaps
Light glows dimly as it wanes behind my eyes
My dreams lie empty in my sleep
Where's love gone... gone... gone...
Where'd it go?
Lost forever between darkness and new dawn
Where we were lovers, long ago
Closed the window that leads straight into my heart
Sealed it tight, then hid the key
No way back inside to tear my life apart
I've built strong walls to protect me
Where's love gone... gone... gone...
Where'd it go?
Lost forever between darkness and new dawn
Where we were lovers, long ago
Where's love gone... gone... gone...
Where'd it go?
Lost forever between darkness and new dawn
Where we were lovers, long ago
Where's love gone... gone... gone...
Where'd it go?
Lost forever between darkness and new dawn
Where we were lovers, long ago
