Lyrics

V1
What a thing to see
A loved one’s fading scene
while the film just carries on

The writers look away
When characters die off
But I never closed my eyes

What a strange idea
To care for someone else
Just to let them go

Maybe we were born
To walk each other home
Well I’m glad we got to meet

CH
We’re running out of time
Yet it drags along
So play another song
And say a slow goodbye

V2
I think we all know
Getting old is getting old
And so is being young

Age is like a thief
Steals away our years
So I’ll take mine with you
