This is written to give voice to a friend with a broken heart.
Maybe there are others it speaks for too.
LOVE'S LAST SAD SONG
Your face is fading from memory.
The world has lured you away.
You'll do what you must for a thrill, I see.
You've sold your soul to the Devil's day.
You call it love, when it's treachery.
You call it true, when it's lust.
You're fading from Love's memory,
where once you lived in trust.
Chorus
It's sad to see. It wounds the heart.
Soon - it won't hurt anymore.
Fading memory is falling apart.
Soon Love will close the door.
It's written above -
what's right, and what's wrong,
and this is Love's
last sad song.
Run with those you now call dear.
The path slopes down, you know.
When you see it's end is near,
you'll be somewhere far below.
Love called you once. Love called you twice.
Love called a sad third time.
But you were deaf to Love's advice,
and to her tears, you were blind.
Chorus
It's sad to see. It wounds the heart.
Soon - it won't hurt anymore.
Fading memory is falling apart.
Soon Love will close the door.
It's written above -
what's right, and what's wrong,
and this is Love's
last sad song.
