Time hurries on, look and it's gone
The changing of the autumn tide
The hopes that live, the dreams that die
If I could have you by my side, I'd give it all away

You, you and I, we must hold on, we must try
To reach beyond that far off cloud
Along the road we're travellin' now
If I could only show you how, I need you there with me

Oh, running water, don't care what people say
We live to love another day
Oh, running water, don't throw your love away
We live to love another day

Time hurries on, turn around and it's gone
If only we could hold that dream
If only life was what it seemed
I know my darling what you mean, I've seen it slip away

Oh, running water, don't care what people say
We live to love another day
Oh, running water, don't throw your love away
We live to love another day
