There's this boy i knew named joshuaHe wrote poetry and sang songs bout loveGot the feeling there was a lack thereofThough i've never met anyoneWho thinks they've had enoughAnd i was only nineteen way back thenOh and joshua liked my girlfriendAnd for a week or two i think she liked himThen she turned around and liked me againMe againSo run away with meDear joshuaCome outside and feelThe glory ofOh the face of God that came and wentYeah and it left them out there wanderingLike thirsty kids with their mouths openFigurin if it rained before it's gonna rain againRain againSometimes i hear my friend on the radioIt likes to take me back to not so long agoWhen all my friends were gettin highAnd they were feelin lowYes but which came first that's hard to knowAlways harder to knowSo run away with meDear joshuaCome outside and feelThe glory ofOh the face of God that came and wentYeah and it left you out there wanderinOh like a thirsty kid with his mouth openFigurin if it rained before it's gonna rain againRun away with meDear joshuaCome outside and feelOh the glory ofYeah the face of God that came beforeYeah and it left us out here just wantin moreOh come here lovers i have loved beforeWelcome the ones i don't see anymoreAnymore
