I pulled out of the suburbs by sunset.
Rain was falling, looked like it would for a while.
I had a radio, six-pack and some cigarettes.
The radio died after the first hundred miles.
I sang all the way to the border
And guess who starred in every rhyme.
I followed that old river 'til the morning.
I stopped, I don't remember the name of the town.
But the colour of the coffee was a warning,
It was the colour of the river but not nearly as brown.
The waitress poured me another,
I guess she was feeling kind (mind reading kind).
You know and I know that love never runs on time.
You're lost in the traffic.
I?ve been asking around, but you haven't been seen.
I never thought we were perfect.
Oh but darling - what we could have been!
(instrumental)
The rain came and went all the next day.
I pulled over sometime for a sleep on the side.
Then I gunned it back out on the highway,
Hit a big pot-hole and the radio came alive.
I never heard a love song yet
That I could call your and mine.
'Cause you know and I know that love never runs on time.
(instrumental)
I never heard a love song yet
That I could call your and mine.
'Cause you know and I know that love never runs on time.
NB
chord at the end of the first movement in the intro and then in subsequent places in the
to get the full sound. I admit that this is not completely accurate but I dont have my
guitar here at work. The idea however is correct and to verify this listen in particular
