lyrics

We were running through the woods whispering in the night
Jumping in the lake and keeping out of sight

No need for pretense no need for cloths
we were swimming in the water so anything goes

We were painting like Pollock with multi colored paint
our bodies were the canvas our brushes lacked restraint

There were so many colors I couldn’t fear
I was certain but she would disappear

I wish she said it sooner
I wish I had known
That she had other plans
That I’d be on my own

When she said

I was more than a friend but less than a lover

When I see her
She don’t see me
But I want her to see me too

Things are changing but nothing has changed

It was several years later but just one too late
She came to me and said our love was fate

She said she was sorry
that she was all wrong
I couldn't listen for It had been too long
I wish she said it sooner
back when I could feel
we sat in silence for we knew I couldn’t heal

We knew and I said

She was more than a friend but less than a lover

Now when I’m near her I don’t see her
but she wants me to see her

things are changing but nothing has changed

She was married in spring
I in the fall
We saw each other in town and our eyes said it all
We wish that things were different
but we know that just can’t be
we’ve gone down different paths our love could never see

We can never be friends and never be lovers
