My Love Is Away

I once knew a girl who gave me a thought
She looked so strange; she was bit by a shark
I had something to say that very day
Nothing to say; my love is away
My love is away, my love's away;
My love is away
My, my, my love is away, my love’s away;
My love is away

I went somewhere I wanted to go before
I liked it a lot; I could've gone there some more
She was still around, she was looking down
She told me her say; she was going away
My love found a way to send me letters at day, every day
My, my, my love is away, my love's away;
My love is away

I thought she would stay a little more
I waited around, where I’d been to before
She never came 'round, and my heart would pound
So I said my say; my love was away
I once had a way to give her letters at day, but I had no say
I, I, I once knew a way to send her letters at day, but I had no say
I found my own way to give her letters at day, every day
But, but, but she knew her own way to send me letters at day
I had no way
I, I, I had a way to keep her letters at day; I had no say
Nothing to say; ay, ay, ay, got nothing to say
My love is away
My love's away
