Time pa**es 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 pa**es 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 pa**es 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 pa**es 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 pa**es slowly and fades away.
