Love out of Time - Rupert Holmes

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
