Her rhythm is a river
Flowing in an hourglass of rolling dreams
Her eyes are wide
You look inside
Don’t hold on to the man you though you’d be
Cause he’ll wash up on the shore
Memories will scatter
Like the wind along the beach before a storm


Oh love is a song
It only lasts a little while
Then a new one comes along
Oh theres nothing wrong
Sometimes it goes by too fast
And other times it drags on and on
So slowly and fades
Until it’s gone

Her kiss was like a waterfall
Dangerous and beautiful the same
She’ll sing a stolen lullaby
Or hold your hand above a burning flame
Now you’re broken like the rules
holding on is meaningless
don’t carry it in your heart, don’t be a fool

chorus

Oh when she speaks its like a poem
And you know she’s not old enough to see
Her beauty as some kind of victory
enough to make you a worried man
but never harder than it always seems

chorus
