Don't Waste Our Love

When you came to me And I was adrift at sea I was lost out in the gloam But then you picked me up In your magical paper cup And you carried me back home Don't waste our love This is not the time Don't waste our love That would be a crime Now that the summer's gone And the swallows are on the run I see you looking towards the foam All of the plans we made All of the love we saved Just aren't enough to keep you home It's a crime to walk away It's not too hard to see They'll lock us up in a golden cage And throw away the key When the first snow's flying And the November moon is rising That's when my mind begins to roam Beneath the rolling tide The bright, colored waves divide I guess you're on your way back home Don't waste our love This is not the time Don't waste our love That would be a crime
