Washed Away

---

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,
Or 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 hold on fast
Or 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 let them know
Before you 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
Or 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.
