Without Love Lyrics Words & Music by Ray Wylie Hubbard You are like a flower growin' in the wildwood bringing pleasure to the eyes I am like a river after a rainstorm ragin' away too fast to die you are a flower, I am a river without love we're both just a wastin' time You are like a rainbow spread against a blue sky sunrise is your next of kin I am like a whirlwind roaring across the desert the kind some hope to never see again you are a rainbow, I am a whirlwind without love we're both just a wastin' time You are like a diamond shining in the sunlight sparklin' and precious to see I am like a drifter always going some place I never get to where I'm supposed to be you are a diamond, I am a drifter without love we're both just a wastin' time You are like a prayer rising up to heaven pleasing the one upon whom you call I am like a scarecrow alone in the distance close by, there are those who would see me fall you are a prayer, I am a scarecrow without love we're both just a wastin' time without love we're both just a wastin' time
