It's been a year since I last saw Mary, When she said goodbye She casts a spell on my intention That's the reason why I'm taking my thought from a bottle lately, And breaking them up in my mind, All my problems they don't look pretty, Oh but it is no surprise Well it's so hard To take what you're given Well it's so hard, To give what you've got After the love goes Here I go, There's no easy road Bright lights of Memphis Sounds like a real good time But I lost my heart and my money Honed like cherry wine But I don't remember the church bells ring, Thru the day or the night, But I kept my soul on my own Not without a fight Well it's so hard To take what you're given, Well 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 awhile since I last saw Mary Wipe a tearful eye, Well I remember I first heard Mary Saying her last goodbye, Breaking it up from my bottle lately, And making it up in my mind, But all my problems, they don't look pretty, Ooh that's the bottom line. It's so hard After The Love GoesTo take what you're given, Well it's so hard, To give what you've got After the love goes, Here I go, There's no easy road
