After the Love Goes

It's been a year since I last saw Mary,

When she said goodbye

She casts a spell on my intention

That's the reason why

I'm taking my thought from a bottle lately,

And breaking them up in my mind,

All my problems they don't look pretty,

Oh but it is no surprise

Well it's so hard

To take what you're given

Well it's so hard,

To give what you've got

After the love goes

here I go,

there's no easy road

Bright lights of Memphis

Sounds like a real good time

But I lost my heart and my money

Honed like cherry wine

But I don't remember the church bells ring,

Thru the day or the night,

But I kept my soul on my own

Not without a fight

Well it's so hard

To take what you're given,

Well it's so hard,

To give what you've got

After the love goes,

here I go

there's no easy road

It's been awhile since I last saw Mary

Wipe a tearful eye,

Well I remember I first heard Mary

Saying her last goodbye,

Breaking it up from my bottle lately,

And making it up in my mind,

But all my problems, they don't look pretty,

Ooh that's the bottom line.

It's so hard

After The Love GoesTo take what you're given,

Well it's so hard,

To give what you've got

After the love goes,

here I go,

there's no easy road
