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
