The Passing Light of Day

歌詞

Though life has worn us down Through sun and rain Your eyes are still the same Deep blue against all grey "Love, don't be afraid" They seem to say "I'll be here for you all the way My lover, my best friend" Do you remember us That first January? You had just turned nineteen And I was to be twenty We fed on politics and poetry Two children fueled by unbroken dreams You're watching me slowly slip away Like the passing light of day Watching the colors turn to grey Like the passing light of day The passing light of day Better burn out, they say Than fade away Some candles last an hour And others one full day But I wanna be like the sun That steady flame that burns on And on, and still... We're watching this slowly slip away Like the passing light of day We're watching the colors turning grey In the passing light A lifetime since we met that January Two young kids feeding on politics and poetry Running on dreams (Ending theme) Empires have fallen (Ending theme) Nations have been born (Ending theme) The heroes of our childhood (Ending theme) Dead, forgotten, or gone (Ending theme) But we still stand All those times that I went away All those times that I couldn't stay I wish that I could give them back Wish that I could give them back All those times when I failed on you All those times that I turned on you I wish that I could take them back Just wish that I could take them back Cause all those times are still here today All those times they still hurt today All those moments return today All those times of "Another day" You're watching me slowly slip away Like the passing light of day Watching all colors turning grey Like the passing light of day I need something new If I could start anew Would it be the same? I need something new To feel whole again (If I only knew) I will see this through I need something new Take me home again (If I only knew) All those people who worried us All those things that were hurting us None of that can reach me now None of that can reach me now All the darkness we thought about All those things that we fought about None of that can touch me now None of that can touch me now 'Cause all that matters is here today All the thoughts that I think today Every word that we say today Every second alive today We're all burning out, fading away Like the passing light of day We are watching the colors turning grey In the passing light of day We may wish we could run, just walk away From this passing light of day But at some point we needed to stop and say It's ok It's ok "My love, don't be afraid" I hear you say "I'll be here for you all the way" And I just wish that I could smile and say "Baby, hey, I'm in too much pain to feel afraid My lover, my best friend" Lover, best friend I'm watching it slowly slip away Like the passing light of day Watching the colors turning grey In the passing light of day And although I wish that I could stay It somehow strangely feels okay It is what it is, I'll find my way Through this passing light...
