When you look away, the days they pile so fast They go and go, oh, it's growing old When we start to fail the vines'll go on climbing They'll comb our heads as they fasten round All the little leaves are gonna fall to the ground They're going down They're going down You know that it would be much better If you would stay like this forever When we arrive we'll look to the horizon We'll try to find where the endless lies Filling with light they look just like a sunrise I'll hold them dear in my inward eye All the little leaves are gonna fall to the ground They're going down They're going down You know that it would be much better If you would stay like this forever You know that it would be much better If you would stay like this forever You know that it would be much better If you could stay like this forever You know that it would be much better If we could stay like this forever
