Another Time and Place - Dave Von Ronk

When first I met you years ago
In another time and place
The thought came to my mind
I'd never seen a kinder face

A warmer laugh, a gentler smile,
Or eyes so full of light
That I'd be a fool if I didn't
Fall in love with you that night

We've tramped around the world, my dear
Our fortune was to roam
But each place that I've been with you,
That place has been my home

If now I wander on alone
With no place to abide,
I'll be content, for I was sent
Those wanderings at your side

Love that blossoms in the night
Can't stand the test of time
It ebbs and flows, it comes and goes,
No reason, reach, nor rhyme

As each day becomes another day,
Each year, another year
I'd trade a year in heaven
For a day with you right here

The miles flow on and I am gone
To a wild and empty land
Time is like an empty room,
And space an empty hand

And the things we said and the jokes we made
Are echoes in the waste
We'll meet again, where hills are green,
In another time and place

When first I met you years ago
In another time and place
A thought came to my mind,
I'd never seen a kinder face

A warmer laugh, a gentler smile,
Or eyes so full of light
I'd be a fool if I didn't
Fall in love with you that night
