Love Gone Astray
Look out across the gray bay
It is a bleak day
When love goes astray
You didn't throw it away
You certainly had your say
When love went astray
Love certainly had its day
When you were always at play
Before love went astray
You sit alone on the subway
Like a forgotten bird of prey
After love went astray
Everyone else seems gay or risque
But you're just jealous of their fiancee
Because love went astray
You want to rebel like Guy Fawkes Day
You don't want to grow old or pine away
Ever since love went astray
You want to maybe take a trip to Sante Fe
Or take up witchcraft like Morgan Le Fey
Upset since love went astray
Maybe you could explore your artistic naivete
Do arts, crafts and even papier-mache
To distract you from love going astray
You might even watch classical ballet
Or meet new people at a musical soiree
Anything that doesn't remind you that love went astray
But the more you try to avoid love's bouquet
The more you realize you want to disobey...
Hey, nice day!
You're really funny and pretty eh?
Would you like to go to a cafe?
Or maybe we could see a movie on Friday?
