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 on back in time
but time moves on like a river
she 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
if you find a love you better let ’em know or you both get washed away
round and round and round we go where it stops don’t no one know
if you find a love you better hold on fast or you both get washed away
i watch the wind blow out there maybe hear some distant laughter
look outside the hotel window and my soul wanders off me
this is the time i’m mentioning and i won’t soon forget that
your proud beauty lingers on until the storm is lifted
go find your fortune fast its cold outside but you’ll make it
don’t trade your love for ambition or you’ll get washed away
love cliché and you used to tell me some things better change all things won’t last
do the best you can it’ll all work out at the end of the storm you get to love another day
round and round and round we go where it stops don’t no one know
if you find a love you better hold on fast or you both get washed away
round and round and round we go where it stops don’t no one know
if you find a love you better let ’em know or you both get washed away
round and round and round we go where it stops don’t no one know
if you find a love you better hold on fast or you both get washed away
round and round and round we go where it stops don’t no one know
if you find a love you better hold on fast or you both get washed away
the time we spend as we pass this waywe might not ever be here again
hold on tight do what you might and then we got tomorrow
