Lyrics
Where Did They Go Lord
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.
The words of her promise the flame of her faith
And the love that would never drift away
Where did they go Lord where did they go
Somehow forever slipped out of my hands
And my dreams ran away with the wind
Where did they go Lord where did they go
Sometimes I wish I had left her for another
But Lord she just walked off all alone
The heart that's within me isn't bitter it's just empty
And bewildered because her love has gone
Oh the passion I trusted the truth that I leaned on
And the hope that would forever keep me strong
I cry out my questions but the answers are gone
Where did they go Lord where did they go
Oh where did they go Lord where did they go
