She's In Love

I've not heard her play in here for a while

She'd always be at the sessions and bring a smile

To the old men at the table

She'd sing soft as a dove

But now her stool sits empty

For she's in love

She had a way of making a sad song lift your heart

And the words she sang of parting made you feel

You'd never part

She'd fill the room with heaven she would draw down from above

But now her stool sits empty

For she's in love

Some man her heart is lifting

While ours is pulled down with pain

Though the loss we feel, we know is someone else's gain

And they say he is a fine man, I pray he has enough

Of her and breaks her heart again

Though she's in love

For with another broken heart

She'll play the better still

And sing of such sweet sorrow

Love, the bitter pill

Her sadness will bring joy

To those sat in the room

With dying of the Autumn light

A flicker in the gloom

Though they say he is a good man

I pray he has enough of her and breaks her heart again

For they say that's she's in love

Her stool sits empty

For they say that she's in love.
