But A Love Now Long Gone, by Carl Halling Subscribe to rss feed for Carl Halling

One summer’s eve in Spain,
I fled through an open window,
Butterflies aflight
In the very pit of me,
And I tramped the streets,
My heart abrim
With such a love,
But a love now long gone.

With my final matches,
I forged a heart
At that maiden’s doorstep;
I was like a thief,
On that torrid night,
My heart abrim
With so much love,
But a love now long gone.

And what of the maiden in azure?
O! What an inferno raged
Within my soul for her,
But that love 
Never bloomed beyond a dream,
My heart abrim
With such a love,
But a love now long gone.
