Fifteen

When you're only fifteen

How can you know what hurt means?

When I saw that look in your eyes, ran out into the cold night

Stole a car just to sleep inside

I realize when you're fifteen

You surely know what love means

And when that gets taken aside and replaced with nothing but fighting

You'll know what hurt means alright

I did not know where to go

And then you showed up like a rainbow

But I got much more than a pot of gold

I got a mate for my soul, babe

A mate for my soul

We were only fifteen

Trying to work out what it means

To want someone by your side for the rest of your life

And yet not over butterflies

Before I met you at fifteen

Back in nineteen-sixty

I was always on the run, unsure of what to run from

Or where I'd be when morning would come

I did not know where to go

Then you showed up like a rainbow

But you brought me much more than a pot of gold

I got a mate for my soul

A mate for my soul

A mate for my soul

Baby, you were made for my soul
