I don’t believe in love like that anyway I would have told you that if you’d have asked me The kind that comes along once and saves everything Between a woman and a man But I’d have died trying anyway I might have told you that if you’d have asked me I’d have died trying, tried everything Until the day refused to return I should have seen it from one hundred miles away I should have beaten the odds of it any day But I never could keep all the wolves at bay Snarling and a-growling It was an exercise in catastrophe It was a dance of destruction It was the daze of futility It was the flight of fragile wings Ambulance drivers and gravediggers Mislaid fortunes growing bigger and bigger Polar ice caps below and above Conquered and claimed and ruined for love As we glide along all the bends of time Falling for little tricks of the mind With memories of Eden now so far behind And the taste of melting snow I don’t believe in love like that anyway The kind that comes along once and just saves the day I think of it more like the rocks the waves chip away As they become the sand And I’d have told you that if you’d have asked me We might have saved ourselves the disappointment Yeah, I‘d have told you that if you’d ever asked me And the day did not return
