Lyrics

VERSE
The five o'clock whistle is mournful and low
Reminding, as usual, that it's time to go
But workin' don't cause me the blues that I feel
It's the long nighttime hours that seem so unreal

VERSE
My only friends are the nightlights I've known for so long
I tried so hard with him; where did I go wrong?
I just could not hold him; her pull was too strong
Does down go back up? He was here; now he's gone

CHORUS
Is there love after him? Is there meaning for me?
Will I know again the joy love can bring?
Is there love after him? Is love meant for me?
Please help me see; is there love after him?

VERSE
There's no one to go to; there's nobody home
It's been this way for way too long
If just once more, I could hold baby near
I'd put on a happy face to hide all these tears

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Lord, please help me see; is there love after him?
