The Love Goodbye
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Once a girl
In mommy's world
Laughing, rhyming, singing songs
In her newly learned tongue
Oh
Now a girl
In this world
Married to a stranger's name
Writing to him all the same
Oh but where can she go
If she's going?
Alone
Where can she go
If she's going alone?
Where can she go to avoid
The love goodbye?
Oh
All the same
Letters answer letters
In a round about way
Sweet darling, they commence
But she no longer feels that way
Oh there's not a soul
In the streets below
Sitting by the window
Clinging to the phone
Dialing endless numbers
No reply
Love goodbye
Where can she go
If she's going?
Alone
Where can she go
If she's going?
Where can she go if she's going alone?
She's going alone
She's going
