|
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 |
