Well I know it was love
But love can be a fleeting thing
Filled with flowers in the dark
The beating of the blackbird's wings
Oh and I know it was love
But it was the restless kind
Not love that keeps you calm
But love that thunders up your mind

And this love poured down like rain
And we lived out on the line
And we spun like hurricanes
And I was yours and you were mine

Well I know it was love
'Cause love can set you wandering
Or keep you in a cage
Or make you do most anything
Oh and I know it was love
'Cause nothing else could touch us then
We were just like leaves
Tumbling inside the wind

And this love poured down like rain
And we lived out on theline
And we spun like hurri canes
And I was yours and you were mine

Now you wonder where it's gone
Well looking back I think I know
We held it in our arms
But we got scared and let it go

We could have rode the rails
We could have taken any town
We could have danced along the bars
We could have burned the hole place down

And this love poured down like rain
And we lived out on the line
And we spun like hurri)canes
And I was yours and you were mine
And I was yours and you were mine
And I was yours and you were mine
