He had a dream It was haunting him at night It would fly into his hands So he tried to cage it But he only made it fly away He heard a song It was running through his mind It was singing from the past So he tried to sing it But he found he could not make it last The world is falling apart He's getting older And there's a funeral in his heart He was alone With a picture of his life On the outside looking in So he tried to change it But he lost the person he had been The world is falling apart He's getting older And there's a funeral in his heart Thunder moving under the mountain Thunder in his dreams Hoping that there must be a word for Everything he means He had a love It was keeping him alive It was someone else ago So he tried to hide it But he knew he'd never let it go The world is falling apart He's getting older And there's a funeral in his heart
