Love is an only child
Lives where the weeds grow wild
High in the wind
You hear its song

If it should ever stray
Love just might run your way
But it will never stay very long

Don't try to name the place
Don't try to set the pace
Love has another face it can find

There's no reality
There's only you and me
Live out of rhyme
Love out of time

Don't count the days
Love never over stays
And nothing ever makes it last
Once it's past

And if you try
To how, or when, or why
It simply will refuse to play
And run away
Here's where I end this song
We didn't end up wrong
Love just ran out of time
And space

Tried so to make it be
God knows at least he's free
Still running wild in some quiet place

Lord, it went by so fast
Grateful I have the past
'Though that it couldn't last
Seems a crime

But if you have the chance
Don't try to change the dance
Give up your plan
Share what you can

A life out of rhyme
A love out of time
