Love Is a Traveler

Love flies over a mountain spring
Soft and tender on gentle wings
Deep and lost in the darkened wood
Oh, I would keep it if I only could

Love is a traveler, only a traveler
Love is precious and then it's gone
Love is a traveler, only a traveler
It never stays very long

I lost my heart over what I had
I lost my head over what went bad
Fell and fell 'til I hit the ground
Oh, I was losing what I'd never found

How can you lose all the love that you have
Do you think that you can never see
The loneliness in me

Once again I can sail away
Love is gone with the breaking day
Leaving me now in a better place
But I keep looking for that last embrace

Love is a traveler, only a traveler
Love is precious and then it's gone
Love is a traveler, only a traveler
It never stays very long
