the love goodbye

A-ha

Once a girl
In mommyââ?¬â?¢s world
Laughing, rhyming, singing songs
In her newly learned tongue

Oh

Now a girl
In this world
Married to a strangerââ?¬â?¢s name
Writing to him all the same

Oh but where can she go
If sheââ?¬â?¢s going?
Alone
Where can she go
If sheââ?¬â?¢s going alone?
Where can she go to avoid
The love goodbye?

Oh

All the same
Letters answer letters
In a round about way
ââ?¬Å?Sweet darlingââ?¬ they commence,
But she no longer feels that way

Oh thereââ?¬â?¢s not a soul
In the streets below
Sitting by the window,
Clinging to the phone
Dialing endless numbers
No reply
Love goodbye.

Where can she go
If sheââ?¬â?¢s going?
Alone
Where can she go
If sheââ?¬â?¢s going?
Where can she go if sheââ?¬â?¢s going alone?
Sheââ?¬â?¢s going alone
Sheââ?¬â?¢s goingââ?¬¦
