As Far As Love Goes

As far as love goes
A woman
You might have been the one
As far as loves goes
Who knows where it might have gone
As far as loves goes
You say I am an unforgiving man
Been down to many roads
To pretend to understand
How far loves goes

And that was before the city
Closed its perfume flowers behind us
That was before we took these gritty roads
To where no one would find us
To wash the blood off of our hands
There is nothing more to see

Oh Woman
You are still a mystery to me
As far as loves goes

As far as loves goes
You say I am a player with no game
I have played to many roles
To believe these lines I say
How for love goes

And that was before the black woods
Closed their dying leaves behind us
That was before we took these backwards roads
To where no one would find us
To wash the blood off of our hands
There is nothing more to see

Oh woman
You are still mystery to me
As far as love goes
Yeah, as far as love goes
