Lover Lyrics
I was green in my younger daysFull of plans but not much knowin'Tried my hand at the game of loveBut I was so naiveFrom the shelter of mama's wingsLearned to fly but I was brokenBy a woman of 25When I was just 19Didn't know where to find myselfThe rules they were not so simpleMakes no sense tryin' to face this world'Til you're old enough to fightLover...you're the reason I'll be home toniteLover...never thought that I would see the lightI was hungry in '81For a time I thought I'd found herFound myself on the road againFreezin' from the coldFortune found me in '82With a girl from way down underShe seemed like the natural thingI thought I knew for sureTried to hold her--I could not seePast her eyes was a spell unbrokenBattered visions and frozen dreamsThat would never see the light...now you're myLover...you're the reason I'll be home toniteLover...someone told me it comes once-in-a-lifetimeLover...never thought that I would see the lightLover...you're the reason I'll be home toniteIt's a long road to salvationPeople say nothin' lasts foreverBut when it comes to the bottom lineWhen I make it I'll see you there...see you thereOnce in a lifetime...Now we're lookin' on better timesIt seems like a miracleBut I'll never forget those daysI'm ready now to fight...for you myLover...you're the reason I'll be home toniteLover...someone told me it comes once-in-a-lifetimeLover...never thought that I would see the lightLover...you're the reason I'll be home toniteOnce in a lifetime...
