Love Has Gone Away - Abbey Lincoln

Love has gone away
heaving a sigh
with no regrets
for yesterday
heaving a sigh
love said goodbye

Through with "sad and low,"
love walked away,
a spirit child
love had to go,
love passed a place
love went away

Away from a place all frozen in pain
with teardrops and heartaches all over again
only a game of hatred and love
all thrown in together, a kiss or a shove

Reaching for my hand
love walked away
sighing to leave
but ready to stand
love walked away
love walked away
loved walked away, and I walked away with love.
