lover

Lyrics

i was green in my younger days, full of plans but not much knowin', tried my hand at the game of love, but i was so naive, from the shelter of mama's wings, learned to fly but i was broken, by a woman of 25, when i was just 19, didn't know where to find myself, the rules they were not so simple, makes no sense tryin' to face this world, 'til you're old enough to fight, lover.you're the reason i'll be home tonite, lover.never thought that i would see the light, i was hungry in '81, for a time i thought i'd found her, found myself on the road again, freezin' from the cold, fortune found me in '82, with a girl from way down under, she seemed like the natural thing, i thought i knew for sure, tried to hold her--i could not see, past her eyes was a spell unbroken, battered visions and frozen dreams, that would never see the light.now you're my, lover.you're the reason i'll be home tonite, lover.someone told me it comes once-in-a-lifetime, lover.never thought that i would see the light, lover.you're the reason i'll be home tonite, it's a long road to salvation, people say nothin' lasts forever, but when it comes to the bottom line, when i make it i'll see you there.see you there, once in a lifetime. now we're lookin' on better times, it seems like a miracle, but i'll never forget those days, i'm ready now to fight.for you my, lover.you're the reason i'll be home tonite, lover.someone told me it comes once-in-a-lifetime, lover.never thought that i would see the light, lover.you're the reason i'll be home tonite, once in a lifetime.
