Time To Kill
The Last Waltz Ensemble Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The many trails I've burned,
But when our paths did cross, love, whew!
My whole world made a turn.
And we've got time to kill,
What a thrill, June and July.
We've got all our love,
Now we don't cry no more,
Gonna bolt the door.
Don't know what we've got, but it feels like a lot,
We don't need no more.
When my day's work is done,
We can take in a jamboree,
But I just wanna sit down by the fire
With my love right here beside me.
We've got time to kill, Catskill,
Sweet by and by.
We've got all our love, the sky above,
The twinkle in your eye.
Now where the wheel might roll,
Is where my love and I shall go.
We're gonna plant the seed, there ain't nothing we need,
We found our own rainbow.
My love wants to have her fortune read,
And I know that she's in a hurry.
If we go along the straight and narrow,
You don't even have to worry.
We've got time to kill, standin' still,
Go on, give it a try!
We've got all our love, mountains of,
The trees are so high.
We don't need no big car,
Don't eat no caviar.
When we come to rest, we take to the nest,
You know where we are.
In this song, The Last Waltz Ensemble expresses their love for their partner and the journey they have been through together.

They no longer need material possessions as long as they have each other. They describe their love as a seed that they will grow and nurture, and they have found their own rainbow, indicating their satisfaction and happiness with the life they have created together.

The many roads I've covered,
I've traveled many paths in life so far
The many trails I've burned,
I've made many mistakes along the way
But when our paths did cross, love, whew!
But meeting you was a game-changer in my life
My whole world made a turn.
You've turned my life around for the better
And we've got time to kill,
We have plenty of time for each other
What a thrill, June and July.
Summer months are especially enjoyable with you
We've got all our love, Buckets of the tears that we cried.
Our love has endured through hard times
Now we don't cry no more,
We no longer have reasons to cry
Gonna bolt the door.
We're locking ourselves away from the world
Don't know what we've got, but it feels like a lot,
We have something special, even if we can't define it
We don't need no more.
We're content with what we have
When my day's work is done,
When I finish my job for the day
We can take in a jamboree,
We'll go out and have some fun
But I just wanna sit down by the fire
All I want is to be close to you
With my love right here beside me.
I want you by my side always
We've got time to kill, Catskill,
We can relax in the Catskill mountains
Sweet by and by.
Life is good with you
We've got all our love, the sky above,
We have love and each other, which is all we need
The twinkle in your eye.
I see happiness in your eyes
Now where the wheel might roll,
Anywhere our journey takes us
Is where my love and I shall go.
We'll go there together
We're gonna plant the seed, there ain't nothing we need,
We'll start a new life and don't need much to be happy
We found our own rainbow.
We've found something truly special in each other
My love wants to have her fortune read,
You're curious about the future of our lives
And I know that she's in a hurry.
You're eager to know what's to come
If we go along the straight and narrow,
We'll live an honest and moral life
You don't even have to worry.
We'll be just fine on this path
We've got time to kill, standin' still,
We can simply be with each other and enjoy life
Go on, give it a try!
Join me and forget your worries
We've got all our love, mountains of,
Our love is boundless like the mountains
The trees are so high.
Our love stands tall like the trees
We don't need no big car,
We're content with what we have and don't need a flashy car
Don't eat no caviar.
We don't need fancy food to be happy
When we come to rest, we take to the nest,
Our home is our sanctuary
You know where we are.
We don't need to go out to have fun, we're happy at home
