Orphan of My Heart
You left me alone in the pouring rain
Left me with no scarf or coat
You left me without any shelter at all
With nothing, not even a note
You never even wrote me a note
Your love has made an orphan of my heart
When you went you took the map
Your absence left my compass adrift
With you gone I've no bearing home
I stand on the edge of a cliff
I'm left thinking "What if?"
Your love has made an orphan of my heart
I look around and I don't feel a soul
In faces of strangers I don't even know
I walk these streets with nothing to show
Doors are all closed and no one is home
Where did all our villagers go?
Your love has made an orphan of my heart
9/5/24
Don't come to me for advice
We always end up at the bar
