After The Love Goes

It's been a year since i last saw mary
When she said goodbye
She casts a spell on my intention
That's the reason why
I'm taking my thought from a bottle lately
And breaking them up in my mind
All my problems they don't look pretty
Oh but it's no surprise

Well it's so hard
To take what you're given
Well it's so hard
To give what you've got

After the love goes
Here i go
There's no easy way

Bright lights of memphis
Sounds like a real good time
But i lost my heart and my money
Honed like cherry wine
But i don't remember the church bells ring
Thru the day or the night
But i kept my soul on my own
Not without a fight

Well it's so hard
To take what you're given
Well it's so hard
To give what you've got

After the love goes
Here i go
There's no easy way

It's been a while since i last saw mary
Wipe a tearful eye
Well i remember i first saw mary
Saying her last goodbye
Breaking it up from a bottle lately
And making it up in my mind
But all my problems, they don't look pretty
Ooh that's the bottom line

It's so hard
To take what you're given
Well it's so hard
To give what you've got

After the love goes
Here i go
There's no easy road
