Washed Away

Tom Cochrane


We live out here in the desert 
Where time stands still 
In the face of our foolish pride 
We trade our love for ambition 
And tell each other 
We'll get it all back in time 
But time moves on like a river 
Soon leaves us all behind 
Like a summer rain 
It all gets washed away 
Round and round and round we go 
Where it stops don't no one know 
Find a love you better let them know 
Before you both get washed away 
I watch the wind blow out there 
Maybe hear some distant laughter 
Look outside the hotel window 
When my soul wanders off babe 
This is the town I met you in 
And I won't soon forget that 
Your proud beauty lingers on 
Until the storm has lifted 
Go find your fortune fast 
It's cold outside but you'll make it 
Don't trade your love for ambition 
You'll get washed away 
Round and round and round we go 
Where it stops don't no one know 
Find a love you better let them know 
You'll both get washed away 
Round and round and round we go 
Where it stops don't no one know 
Find a love you better hold on fast 
You'll both get washed away 
An old cliche 
That you used to tell me 
Some things might change 
All things won't last 
Do the best you can 
It'll all work out 
At the end of the storm 
Live to love another day 
Round and round and round we go 
Where it stops don't no one know 
Find a love you better hold on fast 
You'll both get washed away 
Round and round and round we go 
Where it stops don't no one know 
Find a love you better hold on fast 
You'll both get washed away
