I lost my heart in the shopping mall

by Kathryn
(London)

I only went out shopping,
I wandered round the Mall
But knowing you were gone my love,
I saw nothing at all.

I looked at food,at clothes at books
But I found nothing there.
I looked at faces going by
But I saw you nowhere.

I stopped for coffee, drunk it down
I found it hard to sip.
Because my lover's loss has hurt me
More than any whip.

I wandered up,I wandered down
But I couldn't find my heart
Because my heart has gone with you
When we were made to part.

I came home to my garden green,
The sun shone down so bright.
But as for all the light I got
It seemed like blackest night.
