Love Never Runs on Time Lyrics – Paul Kelly

I pulled out of the suburbs by sunset
Rain was falling, it looked like it would for a while
I had a radio, a six-pack, and some cigarettes
The radio died after the first hundred miles

I sang all the way to the border
And guess who starred in every rhyme?
Ah, you know and I know that love never runs on time
I followed that old river ’til the morning

I stopped, I don’t remember the name of the town
But the colour of the coffee spelled a warning
It was the colour of the river, but not nearly as brown
The waitress poured me another

I guess she was the mind-reading kind
Well, you know and I know that love never runs on time
You’re lost in the traffic
I’ve been asking around, but you haven’t been seen

I never thought we were perfect
Oh, but darling, what we could have been
The rain came and went all the next day
I pulled over sometime for a sleep on the side

Then I gunned it back out on the highway
I hit a big pot-hole and the radio came alive
I’d never heard a love song yet
But I could call yours and mine

But you know and I know that love never runs on time
I’d never heard a love song yet
But I could call yours and mine
‘Cause you know and I know that love never runs on time
