Where Did the Love Go?

Alyssa laid down her head in Mexico
In the house her husband bought her "bout a year ago
She raised up a hand to turn out the light
She started to cry as she closed her eyes

You see, life ain't been too good for her
Back at home
With a troubled marriage and a crazy daughter
She couldn't keep at home

No matter how hard she tried
She couldn't keep the family together
She watched the years pass by
And severe the bonds between them

Cryin' where did the love go in here?
Where does the love go from here?

Her husband ran off to Bali a few months ago
In search of fortune, in search of freedom, in search of his soul
In search of anything to take his mind off his failure as a father
But all that he found was that you can't take back the years

So he went back home
And he opened a store off of Miracle Mile
And there he spends his days
Waiting on passers by

Selling incense and candles
And stone statues of Shiva
Selling paper backs that promise
To heal the rifts between us

Cryin' where did the love go in here?
Where does the love go from here?

Alyssa awoke to the sound of her telephone
To the sound of a voice so familiar it could have been her own
Wiping the sleep from her eyes, she searched for something to say
"My god it's been a while is everything Ok?"

Nothing much ever changes here her husband said
Days pass by and the nights are spent in my empty bed
Sometimes I still hear your voice rising up over the silence
But when I turn on the lights I find myself still alone

Cryin' where did the love go in here?
Where does the love go from here?
