Though life has worned us down Through sun and rain You eyes are still the same Deep blue against all gray Love, don't be affraid 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, I wanna be like the sun That steady flame that burns on And on And stil You're watching me 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 Empires have fallen Nations have been born Heroes of our childhood Dead, forgotten or gone 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 Cos 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 the colors turning grey Like the passing light of day I need something new If I could star 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 fought about All those things that we fought about None of that can touch me now None of that can touch me now Cos 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're all 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 need to stop and say It's ok It's ok My love, don't be affraid 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 affraid My lover My best friend Lover, best friend I'm watching it slowly slip away Like the passing light day Watching the colors turning grey In the passing light of day And although I wish That I could stay It somehow strangely feels ok It is what is I'll find my way Through this passing light
