The Love Goodbye - a-ha

Once a girl

In mommy’s world

Laughing, rhyming, singing songs

In her newly learnt tongue

Now a girl

In this world

Married to a stranger’s name

Writing to him all the same

And, oh, but

Where can she go

If she’s going alone?

Where can she go

If she’s going alone?

Where can she go

To avoid the love goodbye?

All the same

Letters answer letters in a round about way

«Sweet darling» they commence

But she no longer feels that way

Oh, there’s not a soul

In the streets below

She’s sitting by the window

Clinging to the phone

Dialling endless numbers

No reply

Love goodbye

Where can she go

If she’s going alone?

Where can she go

If she’s going?

Where can she go

If she’s going alone?

She’s going alone

She’s going alone
