Stephen Stills - Theme from Love Story lyrics

I'm out on the street

All alone by the newsstand

The lady of leisure comes

Tearin' by

Almost knocking me down

She turns at the corner

And looking back

Lets her eyes send the message

I'm helpless alone

And I'm goin' down

Help me I need someone gentle to love me

My life is a miserable comedy

Of strangers

Posing as friends

I know they don't know

Who I am

Hurry it's time to make your move boy

Hurry better get along with it soon boy

Hurry there she goes

Hurry she's out the door boy

You know you can win the battle

But you can lose

The war

Hurry are your feet glued to the pavement boy

You know you can win the battle

But you can lose

The war

Thought I saw a fox I did I saw a fox

Amidst that sea of pride

Running

Let me call a hansom cab

We'll both get in and then go for a ride

Nowhere

Nothing spoken I retreat

Find the subway take a seat

I let myself get in my way

And let her get away

I got off the train at the next stop

And headed back uptown

I knew I could find her

She so needed a friend

I found her alone in a doorway

The tears in her eyes

Said there's nothing that you can say

I just need an ending

I gave her a flower

And got her to smile

And asked her quite frankly

Would she not prefer

A beginning
