Days Passing Away Lyrics

Days passing away,
Young life it flows so freely,
My heart knows where it stays,
My soul knows where it's bleeding,
Time came to pass,
Until the end dreaming,
Its words echoed down the river,
That had long stopped its flow,

Only on the shining sea you know,
How to make it,
Only on the shining sea we know,
How to make it right,

Back when the day was young,
We knew we were righteous,
No one ever chose to live alone,
Light followed darkness,
He fell down to his knees,
And he stopped believing,
His life blew on down the wind,
And it long stopped its flow,

Only on the shining sea we know,
How to make it,
Only on the shining sea we know,
How to make it,
Only after all is gone we know,
How to make,
Only after all is gone we know,
How to make right,
Back when the day was young,
We knew many things,
Saw the lady walk so gracefully,
'Cos life was free,

Back when the day was young,
We knew we were righteous,
No one ever chose to live alone,
Light followed darkness,

His last words
