One summer’s eve in Spain, I fled through an open window, Butterflies aflight In the very pit of me, And I tramped the streets, My heart abrim With such a love, But a love now long gone. With my final matches, I forged a heart At that maiden’s doorstep; I was like a thief, On that torrid night, My heart abrim With so much love, But a love now long gone. And what of the maiden in azure? O! What an inferno raged Within my soul for her, But that love Never bloomed beyond a dream, My heart abrim With such a love, But a love now long gone.

But A Love Now Long Gone
One summer’s eve in Spain, I fled through an open window, Butterflies aflight In the very pit of me, And I tramped the streets, My heart abrim With such a love, But a love now long gone. With my final matches, I forged a heart At that maiden’s doorstep; I was like a thief, On that torrid night, My heart abrim With so much love, But a love now long gone. And what of the maiden in azure? O! What an inferno raged Within my soul for her, But that love Never bloomed beyond a dream, My heart abrim With such a love, But a love now long gone.
'But a Love Now Long Gone' was written in late June 2017 as a translation of a song, originally penned in French around 2013, itself based on an earlier - autobiographical - song dating from when I was about 19.
