Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Where have all the feelings gone?
Why has all the laughter ceased?

[Chorus 1]
Why am I loved only when I’m gone?
Gone back in time to bless the child
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the child one more time

[Bridge]
I’ve never felt so alone in my life
As I drank from a cup which was counting my time
There’s a poison drop in this cup of man
To drink it is to follow the left hand path

[Chorus 2]
Why am I loved only when I’m gone?
Gone back in time to bless the child
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the child one more time

[Chorus 3]
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the child one more time

[Outro]
Where have all the feelings gone?
Why is it the deadliest sin – to love as I loved you?
Now unblessed, homesick in time
Soon to be freed from care, from human pain
My tale is the most bitter truth:
Time pays us but with earth and dust, and a dark silent grave
Remember my child – without innocence the cross is only iron
Hope is only an illusion and ocean soul’s – nothing but a name
The child bless thee and keep thee forever
