[00:06.64]Time passes slowly up here in the mountains,
[00:12.37]We sit beside bridges and walk beside fountains,
[00:18.30]Catch the wild fishes that float through the stream,
[00:23.61]Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
[00:28.86]
[00:36.55]Once I had a sweetheart, she was fine and good-lookin',
[00:42.38]We sat in her kitchen while her mama was cookin',
[00:48.14]Stared out the window to the stars high above,
[00:52.81]Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
[00:58.11]
[01:08.66]Ain't no reason to go in a wagon to town,
[01:13.99]Ain't no reason to go to the fair.
[01:17.36]
[01:18.61]Ain't no reason to go up, ain't no reason to go down,
[01:24.73]Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
[01:29.67]
[01:46.01]Time passes slowly up here in the daylight,
[01:51.26]We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right,
[01:56.66]Like the red rose of summer that blooms in the day,
[02:02.21]Time passes slowly and fades away.
