|
I was green in my younger days |
|
Full of plans but not much knowin' |
|
Tried my hand at the game of love |
|
But i was so naive |
|
From the shelter of mama's wings |
|
Learned to fly but i was broken |
|
By a woman of 25 |
|
When i was just 19 |
|
Didn't know where to find myself |
|
The rules they were not so simple |
|
Makes no sense tryin' to face this world |
|
'til you're old enough to fight |
|
Lover...you're the reason i'll be home tonite |
|
Lover...never thought that i would see the light |
|
I was hungry in '81 |
|
For a time i thought i'd found her |
|
Found myself on the road again |
|
Freezin' from the cold |
|
Fortune found me in '82 |
|
With a girl from way down under |
|
She seemed like the natural thing |
|
I thought i knew for sure |
|
Tried to hold her--i could not see |
|
Past her eyes was a spell unbroken |
|
Battered visions and frozen dreams |
|
That would never see the light...now you're my |
|
Lover...you're the reason i'll be home tonite |
|
Lover...someone told me it comes once-in-a-lifetime |
|
Lover...never thought that i would see the light |
|
Lover...you're the reason i'll be home tonite |
|
It's a long road to salvation |
|
People say nothin' lasts forever |
|
But when it comes to the bottom line |
|
When i make it i'll see you there...see you there |
|
Once in a lifetime... |
|
Now we're lookin' on better times |
|
It seems like a miracle |
|
But i'll never forget those days |
|
I'm ready now to fight...for you my |
|
Lover...you're the reason i'll be home tonite |
|
Lover...someone told me it comes once-in-a-lifetime |
|
Lover...never thought that i would see the light |
|
Lover...you're the reason i'll be home tonite |
|
Once in a lifetime... |
