(walt aldridge, bruce miller)
We ordered up one more bottle of wine
you told me your story and i thought about mine
you said when you lost her you lost everything
it all started having a familiar ring
So i asked you to take me some place quiet
we wound up at the river for the rest of the night
somewhere around the break of day
i could hear it coming from a mile away
Chorus:
so don't say that word
not the one we both heard too much
you may think you do but you don't
it's just the fear of being alone
Reckless hearts can clear a path
wider than a hurricane's aftermath
we've both traveled down that road
where in the name of love anything goes
like a child in the night
with no one to hold you
and tell you everything's gonna be all right
i must admit it's been fun
but that's no reason to jump the gun
if this is real time will tell
so let me bite my tongue and remind myself
