Parades Go By

I'll linger here your ring upon my finger dear

and sing till dawn a song of you and me and what and why

for time is all I have to keep between these walls

and half asleep the days go by

a million little nights and days go by

and I don't mind

Parades go by

So many beautiful parades go by

Leave me behind

I'll sit and stare how could I venture anywhere

and let the centuries fall

where they may but never die

for I have loved and so

I lost the world above beyond the moss

and days go by

and I don't mind

Parades go by

So many beautiful parades go by

Leave me behind
