Love Has Gone Away
Abbey Lincoln
Love has gone away
heaving a sign with no regrets
for yesterday
Breathing a sigh love said goodbye
Through with sad and low
love walked away - a spirit child
love had to go, love has to play,
love went away
Away from a place all frozen in pain
with teardrops and heartaches all over again
only a game of hatred and love
all thrown in together
A kiss or a shove
Reaching for my hand
love walked away, sighing to leave,
but ready to stand
love walked away, love walked away
love walked away and I walked away with love
