Ry Cooder - THAT'S THE WAY LOVE TURNED OUT TO BE lyrics

(Quinton Claunch, Dave Hall & Ry Cooder)

Brand new day, brave new man

It's a miracle what love can do

All the joys romance can bring

Come smiling down on a heart that's true

When love is real, you can't turn it around

It's like a river running down to the sea

This old world turns around for lovers like you

It's not the way love turned out for me

People in love build a house they can share

Takes a long time to get it just right

But a fire can start in the kitchen somewhere

And burn that little house down over night

That flame burning bright in your heart, I believed that

You turned it on just for me

Another man held that fire, burned our house to the ground

That's the way love turned out for me

People turn out for the big show

Pretty flowers turn out in the spring

And the light turns out in the kitchen

When somebody pulls on the string

But there's no light burning in my kitchen

And no doors open up with my key

And I ain't got no one to turn to

That's the way love turned out for me
