A Year Lasts a Lifetime

歌詞

Like Everyone, Guess I'm coming undone Getting colder as the years roll on Has my skin gotten thicker? Am I ready and willing to sell my days until my days are gone? Better get it straight before you burn away Before there's nothing left to know anymore Tell me how could you love anyone much When you know how good it used to feel? Everybody Shuts off one way or another, you know it's true So if you're gonna drown here tonight I want to drown with you Have you seen her yet in her lily white dress Making eyes with all the jealous men? On her way up the aisle with a child inside her And all the other things that might have been Could you watch him stand with his pale shaking hands Like a heathen in the promised land? Taking what 'aint his from a stranger's kiss To share a ghost dance as the end begins As sure as the sky becomes the sea My one true love is gonna tire of me She'll go out in the night when the pale moment's right To let the world spin watch it all unwind And I'll turn my gaze to the endless waves Oh roll on ocean, roll on swollen and slow So a year lasts a lifetime and the world could stay wild For it's all become so narrow now
