Had the love of one, still I saw many
have all but one, my heart is empty
cause in the morning when I rise, my heart is empty
girl I know you're not surprised that I cry plenty
the greener gra** that I once watched is scorched and bare
greener gra** I long to touch from way over here
had a loving woman, still I saw many
have all but one, my house is empty
cause in the evening when I lay, myhouse is empty
and in the evening when i pray, my prayers are plenty
greener gra** that I once watched is scorched and bare
the greener gra** I long to touch from way over here
and so it goes, the bloom has left the rose
I'm a hollow display, my woman's gone away
I'm a hollow display, my woman's gone away
cause after the fling, here comes the sting
I'm a hollow display, my woman's gone away
search night and day, searched everywhere
I'm a hollow display, my woman's gone away
my woman's gone away, she's gone away
a million miles away
