In the absence of your love
I felt betrayed
was I wrong to think it would
be different, had you stayed?
Love's a funny thing I know
it can be great, but then
why do I feel so low?
We never could agree on life
you wanted to be the boss
I had my doubts that you could lead
now, I'm paying for the loss.
Down the tubes love went
we could not save it in the end
too many barriers to fight
and so, it went around the bend
Out of sight but not out of mind
we tried and tried, but it was gone
never to return for a final time
love's old, sweet, bitter song.

Out of sight but not out of mind
we tried and tried, but it was gone
never to return for a final time
love's old, sweet, bitter song.
