Malvina Reynolds - When It Goes, Goodbye Lyrics

I run around the empty streets,
Hoping you'll be somewhere,
Although I know if we should meet,
You still would not be there.
I wander round this hollow town
An empty aching pain,
Knowing no matter what I find,
I won't find you again.
Cause what I want cannot be found.
It comes, you don't know why,
And when it goes, goodbye.

My heart is like a heavy load,
It goes against my will,
My soul is weary as my feet,
And yet I can't be still.
I guess I look for happiness
You gave me without cause.
You gave your love with joyful hands,
But that was all there was.
Cause what I want cannot be found.
It comes, you don't know why,
And when it goes, goodbye.
