Which way to the years I've let go by
Let a thirsty man drink in its memories while the water still flows sweet and crystal clear
For yesteryear
Oh to see the sun's eclipse
On the horizon like ships
Sailing way away from here
Oh just one more time my dear
Before I'll go hear me out
'Cause of this there ain't no doubt
When it's time for curtain call
Just before the shadows
Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean
Of blue like your eyes in the twilight theater
With symphonies playing in the world without sound
We're given and denied
Give me back my innocence cos I wish to dream again
Like I never outgrew my old playground
Where the sun sets slowly with a golden crown and the leaves sing lullabies 'round vacant swings
Give me those wings
Let me fly once again
Like I did way back when
I would gamble and win
To lift me high above the din
Of the future we see
Does it hold something for me
I'm weightless again
Just before the shadows
Fall like a leaf in the wind
Before I'll go hear me out
Cos of this there ain't no doubt
When it's time for curtain call
Just before the shadows
Fall like a leaf in the wind
Which way to the fountain of my youth I wonder Which way to the years I've let go by Let a thirsty man drink in its memories while the water still flows sweet and crystal clear For yesteryear Oh to see the sun's eclipse On the horizon like ships Sailing way away from here Oh just one more time my dear Before I'll go hear me out 'Cause of this there ain't no doubt When it's time for curtain call Just before the shadows Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean Of blue like your eyes in the twilight theater With symphonies playing in the world without sound We're given and denied Give me back my innocence cos I wish to dream again Like I never outgrew my old playground Where the sun sets slowly with a golden crown and the leaves sing lullabies 'round vacant swings Give me those wings Let me fly once again Like I did way back when I would gamble and win To lift me high above the din Of the future we see Does it hold something for me I'm weightless again Just before the shadows Fall like a leaf in the wind Before I'll go hear me out Cos of this there ain't no doubt When it's time for curtain call Just before the shadows Fall like a leaf in the wind Explain Request ×
