Summer is over and her temples are grey
And I guess you'll be looking 'round for somebody new
Or maybe you found him and you're just not saying
'Cause he makes you feel the way I used to do
Oh babe, if there's a better way to love you
Well, show it to me
'Cause I could not live and let you get away
Knowing there was a better way-y
Well, out on that highway, the mean wind is screaming
And it cuts right through you and the rain bites hard
But I'd walk beside you, to share in your dreaming
And while you were sleeping, I'd be standing guard
Now babe, if there's a better way to love you
Well, show it to me
'Cause I could not live and let you get away
Knowing there was a better way-y
Well, hard roads bust open with bitter words spoken
And hearts can be broken, and dreams undone
But hearts can be mended, and hard words forgotten
And roads return often where they started from
So babe, if there's a better way to love you
Well, show it to me
'Cause I could not live and let you get away
Knowing there was a better way-y
Death came to my window in the form of a maiden
But she didn't say nothing, she just stood and stared
And 'round about midnight she lay down beside me
But when I awoke, there was nobody there
Oh babe, if there's a better way to love you
Well, show it to me
'Cause I could not live and let you get away
Knowing there was a better way-y
