lyrics

I was in mourning
For nothing important
Except being broke and alone
And miles from home
As much as I had one

I reckoned I’d sleep in in the park
Make friends with the dark
But I walked past a bar
And you saw my guitar
And said “How ‘bout you play us a song?”

Without skipping a beat
I stepped off the street
Opened my case
And looked at your face
As inside my heart raced

I figured I’d play the one
Where I play the hurt guy
Missing the girl that he knew
The one that I figured
Might mean something
To someone like you

And you found a pulse
Where there had been none
But baby before we’d begun
We were done

Cause love has a life of its own
Travels along and it’s gone

Twenty-four hours of love
Is better than none
But losing it hurts every time
No matter how long
You had your run

As your head spins about
Try not to think about
Tomorrow morning
Without warning you find yourself
Turning and walking away
At the break of the day
In the stillness of dawn

And you made a home
Where there had been none
But baby, we’re both on the board
Like two pawns

Cause love has a life of its own
Makes its move and moves on

Love is like fire, it burns
We all get our turn
And whatever we earn
And hope that we’ve learned

But being afraid of the hurt
Is just no way to live
You love, you forgive
Be happy you did what you did
We love when we give

And you were my own
For only a moment
But I was still there
Even though I’d flown home

Cause love has a life of its own
Yeah love keeps on moving along

You made a home
Where there had been none
But honey, before we’d begun
We were done

Cause love has a life of its own
Buries your heart and its gone
