LYRICS
An old couple in a caravan,
A.M. radio, they’re holding hands.
While I’m holding to my coffee cup,
Wonderin’ if I’ll ever find that kind of luck.

‘Cause time don’t make it easier, you know.
And I try to keep the days, but they always go.
And it ain’t love if you leave it in the past.
Good Lord, give me something that’s built to last.

These days, I get the feeling like I’m being used.
These hours leave me weak, and these weeks, abused.
It all starts to break you down when you’re twisting all the lights,
And it’s just not around.

‘Cause time don’t make it easier, you know.
And I try to keep the days, but they always go.
And it ain’t love if you leave it in the past.
Good Lord, give me something that’s built to last.

I’ll let the tide come and take me out to sea.
I’ll let the water burnish the worthwhile parts of me.
