The Dying Of The Light

I keep on running, but I can't get to the mountain Behind me lie the years that I've misspent And I've been sinking like a flower in the fountain When all the love I'm gonna need is heaven-sent...

Gonna try my best to get there, but I can't afford the bus fare and the storm that's rolling over Man, it makes me wanna cry...

[Chorus:] And I was told that the streets were paved with gold and there'd be no time for getting out when we were young It's alright, if you dance with me tonight, we'll fight the dying of the light and we'll catch the sun.

Woke up sleeping on the train that was bound for Nowhere Echoes that I could hear were all my own The world had turned, and I'd become a stranger And I'm tired of watching all the flowers turn to stone...

'Cause I try my best to get there, but I can't afford the bus fare and the storm that's rolling over Man, it makes me wanna cry...

And the cold against my shoulder, when it comes on in the winter, and it seems to last forever, and it makes me wanna, it makes me wanna cry

[Chorus]

Gonna try my best to get there, but I can't afford the bus fare and the storm that's rolling over Man, it makes me wanna cry...

[Chorus]
