Almost out of adolescence   And into a world we didn't know   Not necessarily love, but in trouble   With a fire down below      Looking back for a feeling   It's just something far away and long ago   I can still recall the name   But she's really someone I don't even know      But she was right for the time   She was right for the time   But time has a way of moving on      I do recall a gypsy lady   And a younger man in over his head   I was her believer, taken in   By every loving word she said      It was there for the first time   The sweet and the bitter taste of love   When you're young and alive   Too much never seems to be enough      It seems the young and the innocent   Are drawn like a moth to a flame   To the wild and the reckless   Believing they are one in the same      She never found a way   To separate the good from the bad   And she never understood   That love was all we ever really had      She was right for the time   But time has a way of moving on   With her eyes on tomorrow   One day she turned around and I was gone      I'd have to say in a way   She just might be better off alone   She was right for the time   But time has a way of moving on
