Our Love Has Gone
Marianne Faithfull · Decca Years 1965-1967 [2007]
And there's nothing we can do.
It has happened, leave it so.
People may say
It is wrong me leaving you,
Maybe wrong but I must go.
I can't change,
Rhyme this song,
Our love has gone.
Please turn away
So you'll hide your tears from me.
I can't stand to see you cry.
It's just no good,
This love wasn't meant to be.
It must end while there's still time.
Don't ask me
What turned wrong,
Our love has gone.
Who's to say whose fault it is,
Why there's no flame when we kiss
And the music we once heard.
Our love has gone
And there's nothing there at all.
I can't help the way I feel.
And when I'm away,
Out of habit I will call.
Don't you see it's so unreal.
And I don't know
What turned wrong.
Our love has gone.
