lyrics

LOVING ON THE RUN

I heard some people say “Love lasts forever”,
but wiser folk maintain it can't be done.
The latter live their lives like desperadoes,
and choose to take their loving on the run.

They know that permanence is just illusion:
a trick of time that blinds you like the sun;
a sleight of hand that adds to life's confusion,
unless you take your loving on the run.

So give me a smile: though sorrow comes with parting,
it's the only truth when all is said and done;
and each sad end means something new is starting
for an optimistic lover on the run.

I met a girl from Milner, Colorado;
a Rocky Mountain maiden full of fire.
She stole my heart and shot it through with rainbows
and multi-coloured arrows of desire.

And then she said: “The time has come for leaving;
we’ve had our fun and it’s time for me to go;
but breaking up is not a time for grieving;
and that’s a truth that you will come to know.”

“So give me a smile: though sorrow comes with parting,
it's the only truth when all is said and done,
and each sad end means something new is starting
for an optimistic lover on the run.”
