After The Love Goes - Wet Wet Wet

It’s been a year since I last saw Mary

When she said goodbye

She casts a spell on my intention

Ooh that’s the reason why

I’m taking my thoughts from a bottle lately

And breaking them up in my mind

And all my thoughts, they don’t look pretty

Ooh to my surprise

It’s so hard to take what you’re given

And it’s so hard to give what you’ve got

After the love goes here I go

There’s no easy road

Well the bright lights of Memphis

Sounds like a real good time

But I lost my heart

And the money flowed like cherry wine

So I don’t remember the church bells ringing

Through the day or the night

But I kept my soul on my own

Not without a fight

It’s so hard to take what you’re given

And it’s so hard to give what you’ve got

After the love goes here I go

There’s no easy road

It’s been a while since I last saw Mary

Wipe a tearful eye

Well I remember I first heard Mary

Say her last goodbye

Breaking it up in my bottle lately

And making it up in my mind

And all my problems they don’t look pretty

Ooh, that’s the bottom line

It’s so hard to take what you’re given

And it’s so hard to give what you’ve got

After the love goes here I go

There’s no easy road
