Lyrics
Down by the river
The water's running low
As I wander
Underneath the trees
In the park outside of town
The leaves turn 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
The winter wood piled on the porch
Walnuts scattered on the ground
Wood smoke rising to the sky
An old man comes home from work
And he hugs his wife in a sweat-stained shirt
Steps through that door to where it's warm inside
And I'm walking as the wind
Rustles in the falling leaves
My footsteps kicking out a tune
My heart sings silently
Now we've only got these times we're living in
We've only got these times we're living in
See the roses dried and faded
The tall trees carved and painted
With long forgotten lovers' names
And the old cars standing empty
And the dogs barking at me
As I walk through the quiet streets the same
If I could I'd tell you now
There are no roads that do not bend
But the days like flowers bloom and fade
And they do not come again
Now we've only got these times we're living in
We've only got these times we're living in
We've only got these times we're living in
