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 the line And we spun like hurricanes 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 whole place down 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 And I was yours and you were mine And I was yours and you were mine
