We Followed Love
We followed love
Who said it was our fate
To fall uncertain heights
But love is a tricky customer
Who turns and changes course
With little warning
The passions of a steamy night
May vanish by the morning
We followed love relentless
Tuned and twisted
At his lead
Sure our love would blossom
We watered night and day the seed
But love is a distasteful master
Who hides and seeks
And changes course with little warning
The magic of a starry night
Can quickly cloud by morning
We followed love
But lagging
Other straighter paths appeared
With love no longer in our sights
Down different roads
We steered
But still in every corner
I seek some love to find
I thought it had ran out on me
Now realize it was left behind
We followed love
But in our haste
Our hearts and dreams
Were well misplaced
We followed love
Who ducked and dived
And changed course with little warning
And all the kisses and the heat
Were dust
And cold by morning.
