As We Grow Old
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You say, time will show us a way
And we try to keep all the pieces in place
Oh do you recall, when time was on our side?
Just like a wall, where we used to hide
As we grow old, and time goes by
We just hang on to what we’ve got, afraid to let go
We fight, every day a little more
And this house we’ve been building
is starting to come crumbling down
So indecisive, trying to find
A better way, some peace of mind
As we grow old, and time goes by
We just hang on to what we’ve got, afraid to let go
This house grows cold, as time goes by
These walls are starting to wear down,
starting to wear down, each day a little more
Isn’t it time, we should let go?
Instead we carry on
Cos nobody likes to be wrong
Oh do you recall when time was on our side?
Do you recall when time was on our side?
As we grow old, and time goes by
We just hang on to what we’ve got, afraid to let go
So isn’t it time, we should let go?
