It's been a year since
I last saw Mary
when she said
goodbye
She casts a spell
on my intentions
ooh that's the
reason why
I'm taking my thoughts
from a bottle lately
and breaking them
up in my mind
And all of my thoughts
they don't look pretty
ooh to my surprise
it's so hard...
To take what
you're given
it's so hard...
to give what
you've got
After the love goes
here I go
there's no easy road
Well the bright lights
of Memphis
sounds like a real
good time
But I lost my heart
and the money flowed
like cherry wine
So I don't remember
the church bells ringing
through the day
or the night
But I kept my soul
on my own
not without a fight
It's so hard...
to take what
you're given
It's so hard...
to give what
you've got
After the love goes
here I go
there's no easy road
After the love goes
here I go
there's no easy road...
It's been a while since
I last saw Mary
wipe a tearful eye
Well I remember
I first heard Mary
say her last goodbye
Breaking it up
from a bottle lately
making it up
in my mind
And all of my problems
they don't look pretty
ooh that's the
bottom line
It's so hard...
to take what
you're given
It's so hard...
to give what
you've got
After the love goes
here I go
there's no easy road
After the love goes
After the love goes
After the love goes
here I go
there's no easy road...
Now there's no
easy, easy road
