Never Mine To Lose

(album: Life's So Funny - 1995)

You were the ocean
I was the sand on the shore
Each time you touched me
You left me longing for more

But I knew I'd never hold you here
A fleeting moment was all we'd share

So why do I feel the way I do
Why is my time spent missing you
Why does it feel like I've lost the only love I knew
When you were never mine to lose

It's not a possession
Passion it comes and goes
Just like the ocean
Hearts have their ebb and flow

And I know I can't turn the tide
I can't feed the sea once the river's dried

So why do I feel the way I do
Why is my time spent missing you
Why does it feel like I've lost the only love I knew
When you were never mine to lose

Did I let the moonlight and your memory
Cast a spell on me

So why do I feel the way I do
Why is my time spent missing you
Why does it feel like I've lost the only love I knew
When you were never mine to lose
