I've Lost My Love   

Walt Sample

                                      

Living in a vacuum 

Unzipping dead dreams 

My hearts in a tight noose 

I’m hanging in-between 

The bright joy of yesterday 

And tomorrows painful grey

I've lost my love and I don’t know what to do 

There’s a bleeding hole in my lonely soul 

That the cold wind blows through 

Ou ou ou 

Her Lilac fragrance lingers

Throughout this tomb like home

Tickling like icy fingers

Reminding me I’m alone

Nothin' left but memories

And a dying family tree

I've lost my love and I don’t know what to do 

There’s a bleeding hole in my lonely soul 

That the cold wind blows through 

Ou ou ou 

Our Picture’s on the mantel

Wedding dress swan white

I don’t think I can handle

Living without my wife

Exiled in a muddy fog

Wrestling somber thoughts

I've lost my love and I don’t know what to do 

There’s a bleeding hole in my lonely soul 

That the cold wind blows through 

Ou ou ou 

Living in a vacuum 

Unzipping dead dreams 

My hearts in a tight noose 

I’m hanging in-between 

The bright joy of yesterday 

And tomorrows painful grey

I’ve lost my love and I don’t know what to do 

There’s a bleeding hole in my lonely soul 

That the cold wind blows through 

Ou ou ou 

                       Her Lilac fragrance lingers
