Tom Cochrane - Washed Away lyrics

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 on back in time

But time moves on like a river

She leaves us all behind

Like a summer rain it all gets washed away

Chorus:

Round and round and round we go where it stops don't no one know

If you find a love you better let 'em know or you both get washed away

Round and round and round we go where it stops don't no one know

If you find a love you better hold on fast or you both get washed away

I watch the wing blow out there, maybe hear some distant laughter

look outside the hotel window and my soul wanders off me

This is the time I'm mentioning and I won't soon forget that

your proud beauty lingers on until the storm is lifted

Go find your fortune fast, its cold outside but you'll make it

Don't trade your love for ambition, or you'll get washed away

Chorus

Love cliché and you used to tell me some things better change

all things won't last

Do the best you can, it'll all work out at the end of the storm

you get to love another day

Round and round and round we go where it stops don't no one know

If you find a love you better hold on fast or you both get washed away

Round and round and round we go where it stops don't no one know

If you find a love you better let 'em know or you both get washed away

Round and round and round we go where it stops don't no one know

If you find a love you better hold on fast or you both get washed away

Round and round and round we go where it stops don't no one know

If you find a love you better hold on fast or you both get washed away

The time we spend as we pass this way,we might not ever be here again

hold on tight, do what you might and then we got tomorrow
