Love Will Endure

When first I came to town, I came in from the country Not a penny did I have, and not one cent could I offer But still our love it grew, and our troubles they were few, they were few Many times I tried to tell you all the hurt that I was feelin' But my thoughts stumbled in my mind, and then words lost their meaning I didn't mean to cause you pain, so I'm leaving once again, once again Ain't no need to think of me, I'll be happy where I'm goin' I've got roots that need a plantin', and a love that needs a growin' Where my pride won't have to bend, and my lips can taste the wind, taste the wind And as for you, your tears will heal all the wounds that have been opened Just as time will clear the fields of all the flowers that have ripened Of all these things you can be sure, only love will endure
