lyrics

the years they come and the years they go
to love someone is to watch them grow
you said hold me
and so I do

the fading light it moves so fast
you pull me close, you say we’re alone at last
now you can hold me — I want you to hold me
and so I do, of course I do

in the sanctity of silence
as the wind sweeps through the islands
and I’m staring at the darkness that’s coming soon
as you look at me you’re crying
then a tear falls from my eyelids
if you’re living then you’re dying, what’s left to choose?
but I feel it in the moment and I say it now I know it
I want to grow old with you

through the city streets that are crumbled and cracked with load
you grab my hand, and say that’s where the garden grows
I want you to love me — just love me
and so I do, of course I do

in the sanctity of silence
as the wind sweeps through the islands
and I’m staring at the darkness that’s coming soon
as you look at me you’re crying
then a tear falls from my eyelids
if you’re living then you’re dying, what’s left to choose?
but I feel it in the moment and I say it now I know it
I want to grow old with you

now I’m looking back, as I so often do
on late afternoons making love to you
oh how I loved you, yes I loved you
and I still do
of course I do
