These Times We're Living In - Live

Down by the river the water's runnin' low
As I wander underneath the trees
In the park outside of town
The leaves turned brown and yellow now
Are falling on the ground

Remembering the way you felt
Beside me here when love was new
That feeling's just grown stronger
Since I fell in love with you

Now we've only got these times we're living in
We've only got these times we're living in

Winter wood piled on the porch
Walnuts scattered on the ground
And wood smoke risin' to the sky
An old man comes home from work
And he hugs his wife in a sweat-stained shirt
Walks through that door to
Where it's warm inside

And I'm walking as the wind
Rustles in the fallen leaves
My footsteps picking out a tune
My heart sings silently

Now we've only got these times we're living in
We've only got these times we're living in

See the roses dried and faded
The tall trees carved and painted
With long forgotten lovers' names
Old cars standing empty
And dogs barking at me
As I walk through the quiet streets the same

If I could I'd tell you now
There are no roads that do not bend
And the days like flowers bloom and fade
And they do not come again

We've only got these times we're living in
We've only got these times we're living in
