Valentine

(album: Runaway Horses - 1989)

I made a rule about you
I made a plan
For getting my feet back on the ground
Bury my face in clouds
For hours on end
But time only flies when you're around

It was cold and dark, the last time I saw you
Your hair was long and falling in your eyes
You said my hands were worm and that I was special
to you

Valentine
You know that I'm
Fighting this love in vain
The sun's been shining for a week
But it just feels like rain

Valentine
I know that you're not mine
You're somebody elses flame
But when those hearts and flowers fade
Oh my darling look my way (yeah...)

You say it's complicated
But baby you're wrong
There nothing more obvious to me
(That) we're on a trip together
33.000 light years long
and I'm, I'm hurting so bad 'cause you don't see
The night you walked me home I gave you a picture
Of Eden's trees falling to the ground
And now I feel
I feel like your perfect stranger
Without You

Valentine
You know that I'm
Fighting for this love in vain
The sun's been shining for a week
But it just feels like rain
Valentine
I know you're not mine
And I don't know why you stay
But when those hearts and flowers fade
Oh my darling look my way (yeah...)
