(Words and Music by Joan Baez)
2
The moon is low on the southland
3
The frogs are asleep on the lake
4
Did you know that tears run in rivulets
5
And hearts can repeatedly break?
6
And this may well be the last time
7
If my spirits don't pick up and fly
8
For though it's sad
9
It may well be true
10
That our time is passing us by
11
Occasionally you have called for me
12
I've always tried to be there
13
But it seemed whenever my train pulled in
14
You never did really care
15
And the only thing I could decipher
16
From the corner of your roving eye
17
Was that you and I
18
Were the first ones to know
19
That our time was passing us by
20
Well, it was fun for the first few years
21
Playing Legend In Our Time
22
And there were those who discussed the fact
23
That we drifted apart in our prime
24
And we haven't got too much in common
25
Except that we're so much alike
26
And I hate it for though
27
You're a big part of me
28
But our time is passing us by
29
So I can sit here in my silver chair
30
You can stay there on your gold
31
You can say you've got commitments
32
And I can say I'm growing old
33
And I can get up and make comments
34
On the color of the evening sky
35
But our ships have come home
36
And the night's rolling in
37
And our time is passing us by
38
But cast us adrift
39
And cross a few stars
40
And I'm good for one more try
