Train and the River Lyrics by The Stone Poneys

The Stone Poneys

1967

[Verse 1]
I remember long ago, dear
We used to walk barefoot hand in hand
We were young and so in love
That time never entered in our plans
[Chorus]
But now it rolls on like a train and the river
In a new place every day
Time rolls on like a train and the river
Carryin' our lives away
[Verse 2]
Lookin' back on all that we've done
It seems that we haven't done much at all
And up ahead there's so much left
And so little time to do it all
[Chorus]
And time is rollin' on like a train and the river
In a new place every day
Time is rollin' on like a train and the river
Carryin' our lives away
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Today's sadness, tomorrow's madness
There's nowhere to run, and nowhere to fall
In a minute your chance is given
So forget your future once and for all
[Chorus]
For time is rollin' on like a train and the river
In a new place every day
Time rolls on like a train and the river
Carryin' our lives away
Time rolls on like a train and the river
In a new place every day
Time rolls on like a train and the river
Carryin' our lives away
