Love Rusts Starship

[Verse 1]
Here I am now, somewhere on the highway
I just checked into some low-rent 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 call a child
You held me for ransom, like some beautiful bandit
Going down for the third time, drowning in your life

[Chorus]
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 road map
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 too long

[Chorus]
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
