Love has gone a-rocketing
That is not the worst
I could do without the thing
And not be the first
Joy has gone
The way it came
That is nothing new
I could get along the same
Many people do
Into love
And out again
Thus I went
And thus I go
Spare your voice
And hold your pen
Well and bitterly I know
All the songs
Were ever sung
All the words were ever said
Could it be
When I was young
Someone dropped me
On my head
