Lyrics

THE TIME WE FOUND

V1:
I HAD A LOVELY DREAM THE OTHER NIGHT
WE ROLLED THROUGH THE ALBERTA PLAINS
AND LIKE SOME OLD-FASHIONED PICTURE SHOW
YOU SAT BESIDE BATHED IN SEPIA TONES

V2:
I USED TO WONDER ABOUT THE ONES WHO MOVED ON
I USED TO LONG TO KNOW WHERE THEY HAD GONE
GAZED IN A MIRROR AND WONDERED WHAT CAN BE DONE
WHEN TWENTY YEARS HAVE PASSED AS IF THEY WERE ONE

CH:
IN A ROOM WHERE PEOPLE WALK AROUND
SOME WALK IN AND SOME WALK OUT
WE SEE THE MOTION BUT WE HEAR NO SOUND
WE GET SO LOST IN THE TIME WE FOUND

V3:
GRAIN ELEVATORS AND TUMBLEWEEDS
MILES OF NOTHING BUT LIVESTOCK AND FEED
WHEN WE TRAVEL IT SETS ME FREE
I LOVE TO SEE THESE PLAINS SURROUNDING ME

V4:
I SEE THE MOUNTAINS RISING OFF TO THE WEST
I SEE THE EAGLE FLYING HIGH OVERHEAD
I GET THIS PEACEFUL FEELING WE ARE BLESSED
WHEN YOU’RE BESIDE ME I FORGET THE REST

CHO:
IN A ROOM WHERE PEOPLE WALK AROUND
SOME WALK IN AND SOME WALK OUT
WE SEE THE MOTION BUT WE HEAR NO SOUND
WE GET SO LOST IN THE TIME WE FOUND

BRIDGE:
I’VE BEEN ON THIS ROAD SO MANY TIMES BEFORE, BUT I JUST DIDN’T HAVE A CLUE
NOW I’M RIGHT HERE BY YOUR SIDE AND THAT’S WHERE I’M GONNA STAY
UNTIL MY TIME IS THROUGH

<V5>
I USED TO LIVE MY LIFE SPONTANEOUSLY
EMBELLISHING MY CLOUDED MEMORIES
I VIEWED THE FUTURE APPREHENSIVELY
THAT WAS LONG BEFORE YOUR LOVE CAME TO ME

V6:
SO LET’S BE DONE WITH HOLDING ON TOO TIGHT
LET’S COUNT OUR BLESSINGS NOT THE HOURS UNTIL NIGHT
LET’S JUST RELAX AND TAKE IN THE RIDE
I AM SO HAPPY NOW THAT YOU’RE BY MY SIDE

CHO:
IN A ROOM WHERE PEOPLE WALK AROUND
SOME WALK IN AND SOME WALK OUT
WE SEE THE MOTION BUT WE HEAR NO SOUND
WE GET SO LOST IN THE TIME WE FOUND
