This is all we have, days and years that slide,
Time will take no rest, unwavered, unimpressed,
It will not be... it will not be...it will not be denied.
That is all we see, one blink one snapshot burned,
First quick, then joined onto the list, unmoving, unconcerned.
Ch/1
And all the wisdom sung to the patient tearful throng
Will matter less than nothing if you cannot hear the song.
This is all we are, life-stories passing by,
Histories to plunder, anecdotes to number,
Fancies...we are fancies...fancies set to fly.
Ch/2
And all the gathered helpless mouthing mumbles where you wait
Will join you soon enough to dream beside the gate.
This is all we have, days and years that slide,
Time will take no rest, unwavered, unimpressed,
It will not be...it will not be...it will not be denied.
