Lyrics

we sit and count the hours
until we're not so young
if this is love i don't know
just how it all began

sometimes i dream alone
sometimes i'm far away
sometimes i walk for miles
it's never far enough to stay

remember when the world was mine
and you could see it in my eyes
cause they were wide enough to keep
all the dreams i held inside

just like honey sweet and slow
i never had the heart to go
and you so cold and strong
you're all i've come to know

i've been in this old town for years
the dust's under my skin
so when the rain comes down on me
i'll try to slip away again
