I pulled out of the suburbs by sunset. |
|
Rain was falling, it looked like it would for a while. |
|
I had a radio, six-pack and some cigarettes. |
|
The radio died after the first hundred miles. |
|
I sang all the way to the border |
|
And guess who starred in every rhyme. |
|
Ah you know and I know that love never runs on time. |
|
I followed that old river 'til the morning. |
|
I stopped, I don't remember the name of the town. |
|
But the colour of the coffee was a warning, |
|
It was the colour of the river but not nearly as brown. |
|
The waitress poured me another, |
|
I guess she was .. feeling kind (alt: the mind reading kind). |
|
You know and I know that love never runs on time. |
|
You're lost in the traffic. |
|
I've been asking around, but you haven't been seen. |
|
I never thought we were perfect. |
|
Oh but darling - what we could have been! |
|
The rain came and went all the next day. |
|
I pulled over sometime for a sleep on the side. |
|
Then I gunned it back out on the highway, |
|
Hit a big pot-hole and the radio came alive. |
|
I never heard a love song yet |
|
That I could call yours and mine. |
|
Cause you know and I know that love never runs on time. |
|
I never heard a love song yet |
|
That I could call yours and mine. |
|
Cause you know and I know that love never runs on time |
