Here I am now, somewhere on the highway

I just checked into some low-lit room

I call my service back in San Francisco

Tell my landlord, I'll be home by June



But what about me, boy, back in California

What about the blue-eyed girl, you're but a child

You held me for ransom, like some beautiful bandit

Going down for the third time, drowning in your life



Love rusts when it rains on romance

Thunder rolls in on a clear blue day

We used to shine like the eye of a diamond

But something happened, the weather changed



I should have known better

you read just like a roadmap

Staying in one place

doesn't interest you at all



Maybe I don't move

as fast as I used to

But youth is something

we can't hold on to long



Love rusts when it rains on romance

Hailstones heavy on this empty heart

It crowds the window where I used to watch you

Down by the shoreline in the dark



Love rusts when it rains on romance

Thunder rolls in on a clear day

We used to shine like the eye of a diamond

But something happened and the weather changed

Something happened and the weather changed



Something happened

Then the weather changed



Ooh, I tell you we used to shine

(We used to shine,oh,how love rusts)

(We used to shine,oh,how love rusts)



Ooh,we used to shine



Ooh, we used to shine

you know



(We used to shine,oh, how love rusts)

(We used to shine,oh, how love rusts)

(We used to shine,oh, how love rusts)

(We used to shine,oh, how love rusts)
