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.
From ages to ages the poets and sages
Of love glorious love always sing
But ask any lover and you'll soon discover
The heartaches that romance can bring
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
