You could be a whistle,

You could be an afternoon.

You could be the second thought in a poet's heart, the forgotten part.

You could be the one that got away.



But you could never be a love song.

You could never be a love song.

You could never be a love song.

You could never be a love song.



You could be a book without a broken spine,

The cellar wine.

You could be a Tennessee valley stream.

You could be a long night I can't remember right,

That brought me to my knees.



But you could never be a love song.

You could never be a love song.

You could never be a love song. 

You could never be a love song. 



I can't take this anymore.

The news is breaking down my door.

I could be a choir of angels, 

I could be the one that you adore.



But you could never be a love song.

You could never be a love song. 

You could never be a love song.

I guess this is a love song…
