about

When you fall in love with a band mate's girlfriend, and she falls in love with you, and you both acknowledge it, but take the high road for the sake of the friendships and the band, sitting on the edge of the bed discussing why it would be a bad idea to cross the line. Written Thanksgiving, 1988.

lyrics

What is love, where is love,
Placed upon the Earth? I'd like to know
A boy with his dream, a girl with her scheme
To wind up all alone, together

Time goes by, baby. Time rolls on
Passes so fast now can't you see?
We sit and hold our breath
While we wait around for death
Or something to distract us from our fate

All the money in the world
Every sun shiny day
Each rainy night we lay awake and think
Of the dreams we cradled yesterday

Time to go baby, time to roll
Goin' home where I belong
The memory won't slip and so I give up the ship
Find my way upstream to the source

No time to reprimand the guilty
No time to hate your own dark day
Take your lover, fly away now
Test your conscience in these ways

I found a love, I know it's true
But it can't be for me I know
The time is at hand but I'm stuck in quicksand
And there's really nothin' I can do
There's really nothin' I can do
There's really nothin' I can do
