Love Never Dies - Ray Wylie Hubbard

She is Mother Maybelle Carter’s wildwood flower

She walks like a spirit upon the Earth

Lost one without a trace now she’s grateful for the grace

And she stands and delivers what she’s worth

She calls me her handsome high plains drifter

She tells me I got an old soul behind my eyes

Like a fire in a thunderstorm she is a spark divine and warm

And I believe her when she tells me love never dies

She says it’s true true love lasts forever

And when there’s no more wild ponies left

To ride and the Earth falls away what’s matter fades to gray

True love is just as strong on the other side

She is Marianne Faithful’s broken English

She tells me of a land where no one cries

Where we’ve risen from the dust to a place there is no rust

And I know for Heaven’s sake love never dies
