Steve Earle - Once You Love Lyrics
A long time ago there lived a manHe had the world in the palm of his handSultans and kings beat a path to his doorHe had everything but he still wanted moreOne day in spring came a lady so fairHed never looked on a beauty so rareBut he didnt trust her so he locked her awayAnd his gold lost its luster when love died that dayOnce you love, once you trust itOnce you give your soul is bareOne false move and you know youre bustedOnce you love you careI knew an old man who lived all aloneIn a sad iittle house at the end of the roadHe sat on the front porch in an old rocking chairAnd everyone swore hed gone crazy down thereBut no one comes near so how could they knowHe lost someone dear to him once long agoHe remembers the laughter and he still tastes the tearsAnd he still calls her name out after all of these yearsYou can keep it all insideYou can run but you cant hideWhen you think its safe outsideLook behind you, love will find you
