Rupert Holmes — Love Out of Time

Love is an only child Lives where the weeds grow wild High in the wind You hear its song If it should ever stray Love just might run your way But it will never stay very long Don't try to name the place Don't try to set the pace Love has another face it can find There's no reality There's only you and me Live out of rhyme Love out of time Don't count the days Love never over stays And nothing ever makes it last Once it's past And if you try To how, or when, or why It simply will refuse to play And run away Here's where I end this song We didn't end up wrong Love just ran out of time And space Tried so to make it be God knows at least he's free Still running wild in some quiet place Lord, it went by so fast Grateful I have the past 'Though that it couldn't last Seems a crime But if you have the chance Don't try to change the dance Give up your plan Share what you can A life out of rhyme A love out of time
