[rev. Dec. 20, 2016]

Half-dark lady from the Amazon
Spoke perfect moments before she was gone
Her soul reached out from her deep brown eyes
She said "I'm a victim of these Earthly ties"

I don't know what love's about
I don't know what love's about

Feel it falling on the ground
Our fate is dealing one of a kind
I wish that it was then that we die
A Spring rain desert flower bride
Not hoping that it never ends

I don't know what love's about
I don't know what love's about

Then she gave me a gentle kiss
The weather closed, I was lost in the mist
She disappeared as in a dream
Waded out into the scene

I don't know what love's about
I don't know what love's about
Sometimes passion on my breath
Makes me think about her death

Teary-eyed child from some lovers' high
Mother and father left them with a lie
Blood and water no comparison
The new parents treat him like a son

I don't know what love's about
I don't know what love's about

And yet there's times when a kid leaves home
In a family yet so alone
Drifting visions of their role
To find their place or else get sold

I don't know what love's about
I don't know what love's about

I don't know what love's about
I don't know what love's about

Don't know what love's about

I don't know what love's about
I don't know what love's about
Sometimes passion on my breath
Makes me think about her
