Love Rusts

Here I am now, somewhere on the highway I just checked into some low-rent room I call my service back in San Francisco Tell my landlord, I'll be home by June But what about me, boy, back in California What about the blue-eyed girl you call a child You held me for ransom, like some beautiful bandit Going down for the third time, drowning in your life Love rusts when it rains on romance Thunder rolls in on a clear blue day We used to shine like the eye of a diamond But something happened, the weather changed I should have known better, you read just like a road map Staying in one place doesn't interest you at all Maybe I don't move as fast as I used to But youth is something we can't hold on too long Love rusts when it rains on romance Hailstones heavy on this empty heart It crowds the window where I used to watch you Down by the shoreline in the dark Love rusts when it rains on romance Thunder rolls in on a clear blue day We used to shine like the eye of a diamond But something happened, the weather changed Something happened and the weather changed Something happened, then the weather changed Ooh, I tell you we used to shine (how love rusts) (We used to shine, how love rusts) We used to shine Ooh, we used to shine, you know (We used to shine, how love rusts, we used to shine, how love rusts) (We used to shine, how love rusts, we used to shine, how love rusts)
