Bands of Gold
Bands of Gold
The ad says, “Don’t want two bands of gold.
She said my love for her has grown old.
They were a perfect set when they were sold.”
I wish for the days when it was easy to hold
Her by my side and we were in love.
Please, would you like to buy these golden rings,
because they don’t mean anything to me.
She said she had to leave; had to be free.
I thought I was the lover she wanted me to be.
Love doesn’t count when it comes in three’s.
This is a double set of golden bands, with
diamonds to show off her pretty hands.
It was a message that I was her only man.
They have been returned, like my heart.
This is more than I can really stand.
I keep calling her, but someone’s on the line.
She’s searching for a love that once was mine.
Someday I hope she will realize, that
my heart is the one she wants to find.
Until then I’ll keep the rings in my hands.
