You are like a flower growin' in the wildwood
G D
bringing pleasure to the eyes
D
I am like a river after a rainstorm
G D
ragin' away too fast to die
G D
you are a flower, I am a river
A D
without love we're both just a wastin' time

D
You are like a rainbow spread against a blue sky
G D
sunrise is your next of kin
D
I am like a whirlwind roaring across the desert
G D
the kind some hope to never see again
G D
you are a rainbow, I am a whirlwind
A D
without love we're both just a wastin' time

[D D G D] x 2

D
You are like a diamond shining in the sunlight
G D
sparklin' and precious to see
D
I am like a drifter always going some place
G D
I never get to where I'm supposed to be
G D
you are a diamond, I am a drifter
A D
without love we're both just a wastin' time

[D D G D] x 2

D
You are like a prayer rising up to heaven
G D
pleasing the one upon who you call
D
I am like a scarecrow alone in the distance
G D
close by, there are those who would see me fall
G D
you are a prayer, I am a scarecrow
A D
without love we're both just a wastin' time
A D
without love we're both just a wastin' time
