"Love Walked Out Before She Did" lyrics

Love Walked Out Before She Did

I knew love had paid the price
When her kisses turned to ice
And behind the veil of loneliness she hid

I was feeling deep inside
It was ebbing like the tide
And love walked out long before she did

There was nothing left to hold
But a body without soul
And a heart that seemed to harden and forbid

The old hand writing on the wall
Warned me of my fall
Cause love walked out long before she did

Whеn I knew she didn't care
It turnеd my hope into despair
And all in vain I made my final bid

To resurrect from fatal sleep
Our affection once so deep
But love walked out long before she did

Where devotion use to dwell
There was nothing but a shell
And a stack of heartaches like a pyramid

And though everything was gone
For a while she lingered on
But love walked out long before she did
And love walked out long before she did
