Time Passes Slowly

Time passes slowly up here in the mountain

We sit beside the bridges and walk beside the fountains

Catch the wild fishes that float though the stream

Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.

Once I had a sweetheart, she was fine and good-looking

She sat in the kitchen while her mama was cooking

Stared on out the window to the stars high above

Time passes slowly when you're searching for love.

Ain't no reason to go in a wagon to town

Ain't no reason to go to the fair

Ain't no reason to go up, ain't no reason to go down

Ain't no reason to go anywhere.

Time passes slowly up here in the daylight

We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right

Like the red rose of summer that blooms in the day

Time passes slowly and fades away.
