Love Never Runs On Time

I pulled out of the suburbs by sunset.

Rain was falling, it looked like it would for a while.

I had a radio, six-pack and some cigarettes.

The radio died after the first hundred miles.

I sang all the way to the border

And guess who starred in every rhyme.

Ah you know and I know that love never runs on time.

I followed that old river 'til the morning.

I stopped, I don't remember the name of the town.

But the colour of the coffee was a warning,

It was the colour of the river but not nearly as brown.

The waitress poured me another,

I guess she was .. feeling kind (alt: the mind reading kind).

You know and I know that love never runs on time.

You're lost in the traffic.

I've been asking around, but you haven't been seen.

I never thought we were perfect.

Oh but darling - what we could have been!

The rain came and went all the next day.

I pulled over sometime for a sleep on the side.

Then I gunned it back out on the highway,

Hit a big pot-hole and the radio came alive.

I never heard a love song yet

That I could call yours and mine.

Cause you know and I know that love never runs on time.

I never heard a love song yet

That I could call yours and mine.

Cause you know and I know that love never runs on time
