W.C. Handy Love is like a hydrant turns off and on Like some friendships when your money's gone Love stands in with the loan sharks when your heart's in tongs It I had some strong wings like an aeroplane Had some broad wings like an aeroplane I would fly away forever Hover to come again Oh love oh love oh loveless love Has said our hearts are goldiess gold From milkless milk and silkless silk We are growing used to soul-less souls Such grafting times we never saw That's why we have a pure full law In everything we find a flaw Even love oh love oh loveless love Just to fly away from loveless love
