Hank Thompson - Where Is the Circus / Gold Standard Collection

Love Walked out Long Before She Did

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
And love walked out long before she did

There was nothing left to hold but a body without soul
And a heart that seemed to harden and forbid
The ol' handwriting on the wall warned me of my fall
'Cause love walked out long before she did

When I knew she didn't care it turned my hope into despair
And all in vain I made my final bid
To resurrect from fatal sleep our affection once so deep
But love walked out long before she did

Where devotion used 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
But love walked out long before she did
And love walked out long before she did
