Old Time

Wide black trees and a field of frost

Birds fly low and you and me and the car are lost

We took a wrong turn somewhere

Into the old time

Into the old time, for sure

The trees are black and history

Has dragged us down to our knees

Into a cold time

Everyone's dreams have died

Wherever you are, darling

I'm not that far behind

I'm not that far behind

By the side of the road is a thing with horns

Steps back into the trees

And a child is born

Upon this trembling earth

Displays each day

Thrown across the hallucination of your hair

A strip of ordinary sun, a biblical sun

A colonial sun, an enlightened sun

The same sun

Made always glorious at your head

Well, we stop at a motel and go jumping into bed

Just like the old times

Wherever you are, darling, I'm not that far behind

A lunatic beauty under a watery moon

You're melting by the motel swimming pool

By the Time I Get to Phoenix on the radio

Your moon to my shooting star

I'm throwing my bags in the back of the car

Just like the old times

Just like old times, baby

And I'm not coming back this time

Like the old days, darling

Like the old days

I'm not coming back this time

Like the old days, darling

Like the old days, I'm not coming back this time

Like the old times

Like the old times

Wherever you are, darling, I'm not that far behind
