Spent the last year Rocky Mountain Way
Couldn't get much higher
Out to pasture, think it's safe to say
Time to open fire

And we don't need the ladies
Cryin' 'cause the story's sad
'Cause the Rocky Mountain way
Is better than the way we had

Well he's tellin' us this, and he's tellin' us that
Changes it every day
Says it doesn't matter
Bases are loaded and Casey's at bat
Playin' it play by play
Time to change the batter

And we don't need the ladies
Cryin' 'cause the story's sad
Rocky Mountain way
Is better than the way we had
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I've got a driver
You've got a car
Maybe we could go out for a ride
Dance by the schoolyard
Take a look around
Stop and get a bite with the old crowd

I can remember all the good times
Put 'em in a book of memories
Hopin' that our book will never end
Hopin' that our book will never end

You picked a flower
Some time ago
Put it on my desk at school that day
Thought I would write you
A small love poem
Though I got it from a book I'd seen

I can remember all the good times
Put 'em in a book of memories
Hopin' that our book will never end
Hopin' that our book will never end

Woke up again this morning
To play another game
It comes without a warning
It's nothing you can name
Nothing you can name

It's raining in the meadow
Shepherd's gone to town
Wolf has finished breakfast
No one else around
No one else around

And me, I'm feeling fine
Still get lonely
I don't mind
And now we're out of danger
I guess they'll sound "all clear"
Throw some pennies in the fountain
And wish
For a better year
For a better year

Instrumental

Looking at the good things all around me
Smiling at the people that won't believe
My happy ways may raise a question
There is no answer except in my dreams

There is no way to capture the sunshine
But it is foolish to fear from the night
Perfection, they say, will not last forever
But I can't help thinkin' that someday it might

When something happens, things do go bad
Can't help the feeling and look to the sky
No need to worry 'bout consequences
Give it a get-go instead of a sigh

Can't think of any reason
Don't know exactly why
Must be it's out of season
Give it another try

I'm out here in the meadow
Part of an old stone wall
Stand here because he said so
Waitin' around to fall

Some things are left unspoken
Some things are handed down
The circle stands unbroken
Sendin' it back around

I've seen you roll in clover
Dressed for a scarecrow wall
Too bad the dance is over
Nothin' to show at all

Can't help but feel uncertain
Knowing which way to turn
They want to raise the curtain
And you're holdin' the words to learn

I'm out here in the meadow
Part of an old stone wall
Stand here because he said so
Waitin' around to fall

Takin' the time for dreams, off to waste the day
Plungin' headlong, yeah
Nothin' is what it seems
Only just a word that was said wrong
Takin' the time for dreams
Feelin' lazy, and you know there ain't as many
As there was a while ago
Said there isn't any
Goin' down slow

Start to feel alone, when they don't care, no
Worry your days away, what's the hurry?
When you're travelling down the road goin' nowhere
Travellin' down the road
'Cause the woman drives me crazy
And she can't be bought with money
Yes, and she's easy on my mind
She thinks my jokes are funny
Makes me feel fine, yes, she does, now
Keeps me in line, just because, now
She makes me feel fine

Well if you can, try to teach them things that they don't know, yeah
Give 'em a helping hand
Make them see the things there that don't show
Give 'em a helping hand
'Cause we're wastin' time
And no matter what they say, now
Well, we don't have very long
Just a dream away
You can come along

All right
All night now
She makes me feel fine, woah

We have just begun
We should feel the part of us that we're leaving back home
We have just begun
On the deed that's done to us, all the favors to be grown

Waitin' in a line, not thinkin' of the time
You must go out and find
Whatever did we leave behind?

Soon we shall look back
On a past experience I'll remember in dreams
Soon we shall look back
One by one, we're finding out all the answers about home
Waitin' on a matter not now at hand
Wipin' your brow again
Clock keeps turnin' past ten

And we're thinking of time going...

Wait 'til tomorrow
Think of today
Think of the days gone by
Bye, bye, it's too late
Cry, cry, it's heartache
Bye, bye, the days gone by
Gone by

In the end we'll see
How much of the party we've missed already, please tell me
In the end we'll see
Hoping for another chance to hold on to forever

Waitin' in a line, not thinkin' of the time
You must go out and find
Whatever did we leave behind?

And we're thinking of time goin' by
And we're thinking of time goin' by
Goin' by... goin' by...

Where?
Where are we goin'?
Where?
Where are we now?
When will it be over?
Will we, will we make it somehow?
