Love Goes On

When I said, "I love you baby", you said, "Knock on wood"
I'm afraid I knocked harder than I probably should
Those mockingbird words got away from me
Wish I could take them back, yeah

I wonder how you've been since we kissed goodbye
'Cause the grass ain't any greener here on my side
I thought the broken pieces would all blow away
When the season changed but nothing's changed

The alarm still rings at five-fifteen, the day goes off like the rifle
Mrs. Jones next door is still extreme, goes on and on about the Bible
What comes around still goes around, sun comes up, sun goes down
And love goes on, yeah, love goes on when you're gone

If we ran into each other, wonder what I'd say
Baby, please come home or, looks like rain today
Heard you're moving to Denver, no, I'd never have guessed
Or would I just confess

The alarm still rings at five-fifteen, the day goes off like the rifle
Mrs. Jones next door is still extreme, goes on and on about the Bible
What comes around still goes around, sun comes up, sun goes down
And love goes on, yeah, love goes on when you're gone

It's an ache in the bones, it's a ghost in the trees
It's the one little tear that could fill up the sea
I happened to you, you happened to me, now that's gone
Love goes on, on and on and on
On and on and on

The alarm still rings at five-fifteen, the day goes off like the rifle
Mrs. Jones next door, she's still extreme, goes on and on about the Bible
What comes around still goes around, sun comes up, sun goes down
And love goes on, yeah, love goes on, I say, "Love goes on"
Love goes on when you're gone

Yeah, when you're gone
Yeah yeah, when you're gone
Oh, when you're gone
Yeah, when you're gone
Yeah yeah
