Time Passes Slowly

Time passes slowly up here in the mountains

We sit beside bridges and walk beside fountains

And catch the wild fishes that swim in the streams

Time passes slow when you're lost in a dream

Once I had a sweetheart, he was fine and good lookin'

We sat in the kitchen while my mama was cookin'

And stared out the window to the stars high above

Time passes slow when you're searchin' 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 a cloud that passes and covers the day

Time passes slow and then fades away
