Oh precious life
|
How you loved to lie to me
|
So recklessly fragile
|
So beyond my power to see
|
And yet so demanding
|
By making me believe
|
That I am standing
|
In the way of my own reprieve
|
|
That all our days are numbered
|
No matter the amount
|
There's a first and then at last
|
There is finally the fact
|
That the numerals just don't count
|
And all our time is borrowed
|
No deposit, no return
|
And no promise of tomorrow or the next day
|
What was lent you can never earn
|
|
If I took care of you
|
And loved you all your days
|
I'd still have to let you go
|
Cause nothing ever stays
|
You taught me to stand
|
And then you left the job to me
|
Now as a man
|
I'm finally forced to see
|
|
That all our days are numbered
|
No matter the amount
|
There's a first and then at last
|
There is finally the fact
|
That the numerals just don't count
|
And all our time is borrowed
|
No deposit, no return
|
And no promise of tomorrow or the next day
|
What was lent you can never earn
|
What was lent you can never earn
|
What was lent you can never earn
|
What was lent you can never earn
|
