 Dm         F                Dm
Where have all the feelings gone?

 F       G                Am        F C
Why has all the laughter ceased?
[Chorus]
Dm        Am   F              C     G
Why am I loved only when I'm gone?

 Dm           G                 Am
Gone back in time to bless the child

 Dm          Am             F          C   G
Think of me long enough to make a memory

Come bless the child one more time
[Interlude] (3/4 beat) | Em | Am | G | Em | x2 [Bridge]
 Dm         Bb       C          Dm
I've never felt so alone in my life

      Dm          Bb             C           F
As I drank from a cup which was counting my time

  G               Bb      F    C       Dm
There's a poison drop in this cup o-of man

    G              Bb     F   C        Bb A  G
To drink it is to follow the left hand pa-a-ath

[Outro]
Em
- Where have all the feelings gone?

Em
- Why is it the deadliest sin

Em
- To love as I loved you?

Em
- Now unblessed, homesick in time

Em
- Soon to be freed from care, from human pain

Dm
- My tale is the most bitter truth:

Dm
- Time pays us but with earth and dust

Dm            G
- And a dark silent grave

Dm
- Remember my child

Dm        Em
- Without innocence the cross is only iron

Em
- Hope is only an illusion and ocean soul's

Em
- Nothing but a name

Em      G
- The child bless thee and keep thee forever
