lyrics

Once I knew a lady fair, her skin pale like a dove
I looked at her and said: my dear, you're the one I love
Each evening we tried to watch the sunset, but it never went down
One morning she said: I'll miss you dear, but I must leave this town

Oh my love, where have you gone?
Where have you gone my love?
Oh my love, please do come home
Please do come home my love
Please do come home my love

Now every day I sit outside and watch the cars go past
And every night I fall asleep laying on the grass
Now I look up each time I hear an airplane passing above
I wonder if its hull contains the woman that I love

Oh my love, where have you gone?
Where have you gone my love?
Oh my love, please do come home
Please do come home my love
Please do come home my love
