|
We live out here in the desert
|
Where time stands still
|
In the face of our foolish pride
|
We trade our love for ambition
|
And tell each other
|
We'll get it all back in time
|
|
But time moves on like a river
|
Soon leaves us all behind
|
Like a summer rain
|
It all gets washed away
|
|
Round and round and round we go
|
Where it stops don't no one know
|
Find a love you better let them know
|
Before you both get washed away
|
|
I watch the wind blow out there
|
Maybe hear some distant laughter
|
Look outside the hotel window
|
When my soul wanders off babe
|
This is the town I met you in
|
And I won't soon forget that
|
Your proud beauty lingers on
|
Until the storm has lifted
|
|
Go find your fortune fast
|
It's cold outside but you'll make it
|
Don't trade your love for ambition
|
You'll get washed away
|
|
Round and round and round we go
|
Where it stops don't no one know
|
Find a love you better let them know
|
You'll both get washed away
|
Round and round and round we go
|
Where it stops don't no one know
|
Find a love you better hold on fast
|
You'll both get washed away
|
|
An old cliche
|
That you used to tell me
|
Some things might change
|
All things won't last
|
|
Do the best you can
|
It'll all work out
|
At the end of the storm
|
Live to love another day
|
|
Round and round and round we go
|
Where it stops don't no one know
|
Find a love you better hold on fast
|
You'll both get washed away
|
|
Round and round and round we go
|
Where it stops don't no one know
|
Find a love you better hold on fast
|
You'll both get washed away
|
|
The time we spend
|
As we pass this way
|
We might not ever be here again
|
Hold on tight to what you find
|
Then we're gone tomorrow
|
