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
