Paroles de 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

Chorus:
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

Chorus (minor change in last line):
Round and round and round we go
Where it stops don't no one know
Find a love you better hold on fast
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

Second version of Chorus x 2

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
