Got another phone call
Someone wants to help
It's time I learned the truth, they said
About all the lies you tell
Though it's hard to hide the fear
What I heard is true
I rather trust the memories
The years of loving you
[Chorus:]
Yes (yes), yes (yes)
I'd rather believe in you
Yes (yes), yes (yes)
I'd rather believe in you
I know we've had our share
Of troubles long within the past
Till I know

Momma raised me to love one man
And that's just what I'm trying to do
But since you've been playing
In that rock and roll band
I never see enough of you
Saw your picture in a magazine
Read the letters that you sent back home
But of the night I'm alone by the t.v. screen
Listening for the telephone
[Chorus:]
Long distant love affair
We got a station to station romance

In a broken down apartment house
Laid a woman in labor
She said by the grace of God
I'll have this child
And the help of a neighbor
Six o'clock the sun was rising
All upon the world
Seven forty-five the neighbor smiled
And said you got a beautiful girl
She named her Spring
Winter's been a long time passing
She named her Spring
And though she's never been wed
She held her newborn child and said

[Chorus:]
Love walked out the door
It's a crying shame
When we don't have it no more
Love walked out the door
It's a crying shame
When we don't have it no more
Read your letter
I don't know whether
To call you up and talk again
When I saw the name you signed
Going through my mind
Was a memory way back when
Now all that I can tell you
Good love baby sorry that it couldn't be me

Grand morning many night time lovers
Wake up to become early morning strangers
He always looked different in the light of day
Grand morning many night time lovers
Who silently steps in all the changes
It's hard to make small talk
When there's nothing to say
[Chorus:]
Early morning strangers
Looking at each other
That is all we are to one another
Early morning strangers
Who wake up to discover

I know you don't love me no more
No more ah no more
I don't wanna be hurt any anymore no no more
Ain't no use in me cryin now
Everything I did, you put me down
I don't want you no more baby
Ain't no use in you hangin round
I know you don't want me no more
No more ah no more
And with someone else
Lovin you more, lovin you more
Ain't no use in me cryin now
If weren't for you I won't be down

I wake up in a cold sweat
To a clock that says it's only 3 a.m.
Thinking that I felt you
When I really only dreamed of you again
And I'm clinging to your pillow
Like a drowning man would hold on
As I feel the flood of memories rushing in
[Chorus:]
And I flashback
Back to the time you were mine
And we lived in a love song
And I flashback
Chasing the sun, we would run
With a dream we could grow on

I don't want to lose this good thing
Baby that we got
If I do, I would surely, surely lose alot
Cause your love is better
Then any love I know
It's like thunder (Thunder)
And lightning (Lightning)
The way you love me is freighting
I better knock on wood (Baby)
I better knock, knock, knock
I'm not superstitious about you
I can't take no chance
Got me spinning oh baby
Baby I'm in a trance

I turn my back on him
Now it's you that makes me smile
But in your arms, I'm restless
Like I'm leaving in awhile
I let the match and burned my bridges
You were mine
Now I got this feeling
You'll be the next in line
[Chorus:]
Living on the love of another man's woman
That's loving on borrowed time
Like to make a song last forever
But the next dance won't be mine

It was Friday night
And both of us were lonely
We seemed to meet as lonely people do
I filled that empty space till Monday morning
I never meant ton fall in love with you
Came right out and told me
About your wife back home in Houston
You were just in town on business
You never tried to lead me on
Time had seemed just fine
Simply love you for the moment
Heaven help me time ran out
