When It's Over

(album: Coming Down Your Way - 1975)

You and me girl,
We had some lies to tell,
and didn't we tell them to one another?
And looking back child,
I know damn well,
We never would have lied like that to our Mothers.

Well you told me that you loved me,
and you told me you'd be true.
So I held you and I kissed you,
and I told you I would too.
We were walking on a rainbow,
and it took us to the sky,
Finally we did come down,
We did, we did,
Come down.

I can't get over how love can die,
now there's a hate where there was desire.
It was a bluebird flying high,
now it's a dragon that's breathing fire.

Now you show me,
how you hate me,
with a list a mile long.
So I tell you,
that I'm leaving,
and won't miss you when I'm gone.
So you tell me,
You can't stand me,
Do you really hate my soul?
Finally we did come down,
We did, we did,
Come down.

It's hard to tell when Love has begun,
But it sure is clear when it's over,
It's hard to tell when Love has begun,
You made it clear that it's over, ...
That it's over,
That it's over,
That it's over.
