Now, I see winter's dawn
The wind turns traitor cold
Seems long since summer time
And the stories that were toldWe spoke of dreams that came to us
When we were young
But as the morning rose
We spoke with forked tonguesMy love is a fleeting one
My man could be anyone
And our love is a setting sunAs we took those evening walks
Down through the graveyard
Those names engraved always
Put a new shade to my thoughtsBut he and I, we both knew
The bread that we break
Would never take their place
What's cold, you mustn't awaitMy life is a fleeting one
My work is just a web I've spun
Oh, my life is a setting sunI don't know where I'm going
But no one is coming with me
I won't give up chasing love, son
Here I go, look at me run
Here I go
Look at me run
Here I go
Look at me runMy love is a fleeting one
My man could be anyone
And our love is a setting sunMy life is a fleeting one
My work is just a web I've spun
Oh, my life is a setting sunBaffled by the lies we blamed
We met the end too soon
I was honest when I told you
We're as cryptic as the moon
