So I'm here again with my oldest friend He always understands how I feel And he calms me down with that haunting sound Of bronze and silvered steel We lift the lead from my troubled head It doesn't change a thing. Just the way I see what's on the screen keeps my eyes from watering It's what gets me through the day Knowing soon it will all fade away See the rose still grows outside my window And though winter's almost here We look beyond and know the sun Will bring white petals back next year I've not closed my eyes, no I'll keep them wide I know life can be cruel But I'm also sure we will endure the world's still ending, but it's cool. And what gets you through the day that's for you to say. The rose still grows outside my window I know winter will be cruel But look beyond and see the sun The world's still ending, but it's cool.
