about

This song is based on a story submitted to me by a guy who was ghosted by his much younger love. See the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMhlgUv85Fc

lyrics

Where did your love go when it died
Did it commit some suicide
Is it heaven or hell on the other side
Why's my love still alive?

It's been 365 days since your text
And I still can't believe that you just up and left
Like a flame in the wind, like a ghost in the dark
The burn of the whisky goes straight to my heart

And you dared me to kiss you, you begged me to come
By the light of the fire you did not seem so young
And I don't know what held me, your tongue or your ear
But your spell made those people just all disappear

By the break of dawn
I knew I should be gone
I'm not the only one

Where did your love go when it died
Did it commit some suicide
Is it heaven or hell on the other side
Why's my love still alive?

I've never seen beauty I couldn't withstand
Like you bathing in sunlight asleep on my hand
Your hair spun of gold, and your skin made of snow
A life denied you is a death to be slow

And I know what becomes of the heart left behind
I should have known better, it's not my first time
But seduced and reduced to the whims of a child
The simplest questions are driving me wild

By the break of dawn
I knew I should be gone
I'm not the only one

Where did your love go when it died
Did it commit some suicide
Is it heaven or hell on the other side
Why's my love still alive?

Tell me where did your love go
Where is your love?
