Time is a shadow. Life is a dream. The only thing that seems real baby. Is you and me. . I'd think someday, I'd feel this way. Now it's hard to believe.
I've been searching for so long. Something I couldn't find. Choices I made were so wrong. Until you came into my life. . No matter who I held. There was an emptiness there.
Pretty little girl. Sweet sixteen. Crying in the dark. On the front porch swing. She's got a secret she can't keep for long. Don't wanna tell her daddy and her mamma.
You don't call for two whole weeks. Then you think I'm gonna fall at your feet. When you walk through that door. . Like a cloud of dust you just disappear.
When he says he'll call me, he always does. Brings me flowers just because. He's kind and honest, says he's crazy 'bout me. I tell myself this could be a dream come true.
Cool river. Hot August night. Her sweet body next to mine. Lonesome whistle. Moans in the distance. Young hearts poundin'. No resistance. . [Chorus]. There was a sign on the fence.
I want to tear my calendar up. Who cares about all this stuff. I just wanna be alone with you, yeah. Seems like we never ever. Get enough time together.
Boy you think you got me. Just where you want me. You know just what I need. . I just want someone. Someone who loves me. Who loves me just for me. . But sometimes I feel inside.
I remember you down by the river. We made love in the dead of winter. . And those crows and fields. Yeah we set them all on fire. But there was nothing left.
