You are like a flower growin' in the wildwood
bringing pleasure to the eyes
I am like a river after a rainstorm
ragin' away too fast to die
you are a flower, I am a river
without love we're both just a wastin' time
You are like a rainbow spread against a blue sky
sunrise is your next of kin
I am like a whirlwind roaring across the desert
the kind some hope to never see again
you are a rainbow, I am a whirlwind
without love we're both just a wastin' time
You are like a diamond shining in the sunlight
sparklin' and precious to see
I am like a drifter always going some place
I never get to where I'm supposed to be
you are a diamond, I am a drifter
without love we're both just a wastin' time
You are like a prayer rising up to heaven
pleasing the one upon who you call
I am like a scarecrow alone in the distance
close by, there are those who would see me fall
you are a prayer, I am a scarecrow
without love we're both just a wastin' time
without love we're both just a wastin' time
