Lyrics
Time passes slowly up here in the mountains
We sit beside bridges and walk beside fountains
Catch the wild fishes that float through the stream
Time passes slowly when you’re lost in a dream

Once I had a sweetheart, she was fine and good-lookin’
We sat in her kitchen while her mama was cookin’
Stared out the window to the stars high above
Time passes slowly when you’re searchin’ for love

Ain’t no reason to go in a wagon to town
Ain’t no reason to go to the fair
Ain’t no reason to go up, ain’t no reason to go down
Ain’t no reason to go anywhere

Time passes slowly up here in the daylight
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
Like the red rose of summer that blooms in the day
Time passes slowly and fades away

Une charmante ballade sur le temps qui passe dont ma version préférée est la 2ème prise alternative qui figure sur le "Bootleg Series Vol.10". Avec la bonne grosse intro grandiloquente !

Dommage qu'il n'existe aucun version live, je suis sûr qu'elle aurait pu avoir de la gueule période Rolling Thunder ou dans les parties acoustiques du NET circa 93.
