Fleeting One

Now, I see winter's dawn The wind turns traitor cold Seems long since summer time And the stories that were told We spoke of dreams that came to us When we were young But as the morning rose We spoke with forked tongues My love is a fleeting one My man could be anyone And our love is a setting sun As we took those evening walks Down through the graveyard Those names engraved always Put a new shade to my thoughts But he and I, we both knew The bread that we break Would never take their place What's cold, you mustn't await My life is a fleeting one My work is just a web I've spun Oh, my life is a setting sun I don't know where I'm going But no one is coming with me I won't give up chasing love, son Here I go, look at me run Here I go Look at me run Here I go Look at me run My love is a fleeting one My man could be anyone And our love is a setting sun My life is a fleeting one My work is just a web I've spun Oh, my life is a setting sun Baffled by the lies we blamed We met the end too soon I was honest when I told you We're as cryptic as the moon
