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 all back in time But time moves on like a river Soon 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 Find a love you better let them know Before you both get washed away
I watch the wind blow out there Maybe hear some distant laughter Look outside the hotel window When my soul wanders off babe This is the town I met you in And I won't soon forget that Your proud beauty lingers on Until the storm has lifted
Go find your fortune fast It's cold outside but you'll make it Don't trade your love for ambition You'll get washed away
Round and round and round we go Where it stops don't no one know Find a love you better let them know You'll both get washed away
Round and round and round we go Where it stops don't no one know Find a love you better hold on fast You'll both get washed away
An old cliche That you used to tell me Some things might change All things won't last
Do the best you can It'll all work out At the end of the storm Live to love another day
Round and round and round we go Where it stops don't no one know Find a love you better hold on fast You'll both get washed away
Round and round and round we go Where it stops don't no one know Find a love you better hold on fast You'll both get washed away
The time we spend As we pass this way We might not ever be here again Hold on tight to what you find Then we're gone tomorrow
