I once knew a girl who gave me a thought.
She looked so strange; she was bit by a shark.
I had something to say that very day.
Nothing to say; my love is away.
My love is away, my love's away;
my love is away.
My, my, my love is away, my love's away;
my love is away.
I went somewhere I wanted to go before.
I liked it a lot; I could've gone there some more.
She was still around, she was looking down.
She told me her say; she was going away.
My love found a way to send me letters at day, every day.
My, my, my love is away, my love's away;
my love is away.
I thought she would stay a little more.
I waited around, where I'd been to before.
She never came 'round, and my heart would pound,
so I said my say; my love was away.
I once had a way to give her letters at day, but I had no say.
I, I, I once knew a way to send her letters at day, but I had no say.
I found my own way to give her letters at day, every day,
but, but, but she knew her own way to send me letters at day.
I had no way.
I, I, I had a way to keep her letters at day; I had no say.
Nothing to say; ay, ay, ay, got nothing to say.
My love is away.
My love's away.
