[Verse 1]
I knew love had paid the price when her kisses turned to ice
And behind the veil of loneliness she hid
I was feeling deep inside it was ebbing like the tide

[Refrain]
And love walked out long before she did

[Verse 2]
There was nothing left to hold but a body without soul
And a heart that seemed to harden and forbid
The ole hand writing on the wall warned me of my fall

[Refrain]
'Cause love walked out long before she did

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Whеn I knew she didn't care it turnеd my hope into despair
And all in vain I made my final bid
To resurrect from fatal sleep our affection once so deep

[Refrain]
But love walked out long before she did
[Verse 4]
Where devotion use to dwell there was nothing but a shell
And a stack of heartaches like a pyramid
And though everything was gone for a while she lingered on

[Refrain]
But love walked out long before she did
And love walked out long before she did
