After the Love Goes

Lyrics

It's been a year since I last saw Mary When she said goodbye She casts a spell on my intention Ooh that's the reason why I'm taking my thoughts from a bottle lately And breaking them up in my mind And all my thoughts, they don't look pretty Ooh to my surprise It's so hard to take what you're given And it's so hard to give what you've got After the love goes here I go There's no easy road Well the bright lights of Memphis Sounds like a real good time But I lost my heart And the money flowed like cherry wine So I don't remember the church bells ringing Through the day or the night But I kept my soul on my own Not without a fight It's so hard to take what you're given And 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 a while since I last saw Mary Wipe a tearful eye Well I remember I first heard Mary Say her last goodbye Breaking it up in my bottle lately And making it up in my mind And all my problems they don't look pretty Ooh, that's the bottom line It's so hard to take what you're given And it's so hard to give what you've got After the love goes here I go There's no easy road
