THESE TIMES WE'RE LIVING IN
Down by the river,
Water's running low
As I wander, underneath the trees.
In the park outside of town
The leaves, turned brown and yellow now
Are falling on the ground.
Remembering the way you felt
Beside me here when love was new.
That feeling's just grown stronger
Since I fell in love with you.
We've only got these times we're living in
We've only got these times we're living in.
Winter wood piled on the porch,
Walnuts scattered on the ground
Wood smoke risin' to the sky.
An old man comes home from work
And hugs his wife in a sweat-stained shirt,
To where it's warm inside.
And I'm walking as the wind
Rustles in the fallen leaves.
My footsteps picking out a tune
My heart sings silently.
We've only got these times we're living in
We've only got these times we're living in.
Roses dried and faded,
The tall trees carved and painted,
With long forgotten lovers' names.
The old cars standing empty
And dogs barking at me
The quiet streets are the same.
If I could I'd tell you now
There are no roads that do not bend.
The days like flowers bloom and fade
And they do not come again.
We've only got these times we're living in
We've only got these times we're living in.
