| You are like a flower growin' in the wildwood |
| Bringing pleasure to the eyes |
| I am like a river after a rainstorm |
| Ragin' away too fast to die |
| You are a flower, I am a river |
| Without love we’re both a-just a-wastin' time |
| You are like a rainbow spread against a blue sky |
| Sunrise is your next of kin |
| I am like a whirlwind roarin' across the desert |
| The kind some hope to never see again |
| You are a rainbow, I am a whirlwind |
| Without love we’re both just a-wastin' time |
| You are like a diamond shinin' in the sunlight |
| Sparkling and precious to see |
| I am like a drifter, I’m always going some place |
| I never get to where I’m supposed to be |
| You are a diamond, I am a drifter |
| Without love we’re both a-just a-wastin' time |
| You are like a prayer rising up to heaven |
| Pleasing the one upon whom you call |
| I am like a scarecrow alone in the distance |
| Close by, there are those who would see me fall |
| You are a prayer, I am a scarecrow |
| Without love we’re both a-just a-wastin' time |
| Without love we’re both a-just a-wastin' time |
