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 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 roaring 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 shining in the sunlight Sparklin' and precious to see I am like a drifter 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 just a wastin' time. You are like a prayer rising up to heaven Pleasing the one upon who 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 a wastin' time. Without love we're both just a wastin' time. --- Instrumental to fade ---
