Without Love

You are like a flower growing in the wildwood
Bringing pleasure to the eyes
I am like a river after a rainstorm
Raging away too fast to die
You are a flower, I am a river
And without love we’re both just wastin' time
You are like a rainbow spread across a blue sky
Sunrise is your next of kin
And I am like a whirlwind roarin' 'cross a desert
The kind some hope to never see again
You are a rainbow, I am a whirlwind
Without love we’re both just 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
And without love we’re both just 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 just wastin' time
Without love we’re both just wastin' time
Without love we’re both just wastin' time
