New Love, Old Love

When we first met dear
I didn't know your name
You seemed like a coffee shop girl
From far away
You could've been a runaway
You could've been a queen
You were an open lotus bloom
From a pond I'd never seen

Isn't it funny
Isn't it strange
How these pictures seem to end up in frames

In a new love
Everything's so simple
Like a song on the radio
Like homemade wine
But in an old love
You know where your boundaries are
It's as strong as a steel guitar
And don't it shine!

I took all the money
That I'd saved in my can
We drove across the night sky
To a far off land
Stared at each other
On top of that hill
We were looking for heaven
And we're looking still

But the world moves so fast
We've got to let it go just to make it last

Let's have a new love
Let it all be simple
Like a song for the baby-o
Like the smell of a pine
Let's keep the old love
Somehow it brought us safe thus far
It gives a voice to the steel guitar
And don't it shine!
