Lyrics
When Your Lover Has Gone
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.
What good is the scheming
The planning and dreaming
That comes with each new love affair
The love that you cherish
So often might perish
And leave you with castles in air
When you're alone
Who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone
The magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn
There is no sunrise
When your lover has gone
What lonely hours
The evening shadows bring
What lonely hours
With memories lingering
Like faded flowers
Life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone
When your lover's gone
When your lover has gone
