  • Movin' on slowly, sittin' forlornly
    Looks through her window, clouds hide the sun
    She thinks of her love, gone like the wild ones
    She knows he'll never return

    [Chorus]
    Grim reaper of love, grim reaper of love
    Grim reaper of love, grim reaper of love
    Killing the living & living to kill
    Grim reaper of love thrives on pain; people, beware

    Missed her sadness of the loss of his loaning
    But in his past thinking, love can't last
    We were so happy, peaceful and dear
    But now his life's a little miser

    [Chorus] Writer/s: AL NICHOL, CHARLES PORTZ
