Time passes slowly up here in the mountains

We sit beside bridges and walk beside fountains

Catch the wild fishes that float through the stream

We sat in her kitchen while her mama was cookin F G
F G
Stared out the window to the stars high above

Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love
