In the quiet of the fading light
I hear the echoes losing fight
Each breath, a chill that I behold
And I feel the weight of getting old
The golden days have slipped away
The evening steals the light of day
Each step grows slower, heavy still
The world around me losing thrill
I feel the years upon my skin
A distant fire that burns within
The mirror shows where I have been
The flame once bright, now growing thin
Like autumn leaves that drift and fall
The years pass by with no recall
I search for meaning in the past
But time, it moves too quick, too fast
I feel the years upon my skin
A distant fire that burns within
The mirror shows where I have been
The flame once bright, now growing thin
Like autumn leaves that drift and fall
The years pass by with no recall
I search for meaning in the past
But time, it moves too quick, too fast
I feel the years upon my skin
A distant fire that burns within
The mirror shows where I have been
The flame once bright, now growing thin
The light grows dim, the night is near
I walk alone but feel no fear
And though my heart beats soft and slow
The song remains, it still will grow.
