Slow Passin' Time - Anne Murray
We both had our dreams when we left
This sleepy little town behind
But things have gotten so mixed up
I tell you I've forgotten mine
It all had something to do with money
And a better way of life
When that old alarm goes off
It's getting hard to open our eyes
Aw but somewhere in my memory
The afternoon sun's hanging in the trees
And the summer's coming up from
The Gulf Coast on a sultry breeze
And you and me are together
In a porch swing state of mind
Loving each other to the rhythm of slow passing time
Fell asleep last night to echoes
Of a song you used to sing with me
And I thought how I missed the life
That had such simple harmony
And lately I begun to wonder
If the price we paid is too great
When it's backed up bumper to bumper
Out here on the interstate
Aw but somewhere in my memory
The afternoon sun's hanging in the trees
And the summer's coming up from
The Gulf Coast on a sultry breeze
And you and me we're together
In a porch swing state of mind
Loving each other to the rhythm of slow passing time
