lyrics

Time beats down on all things new
turns the brightest shade of blue
into a faded shade of gray
If all things live but for to die
may all things pass before my eyes
before the shine has gone away

Met him in an empty room
and though his shadow filled the room
he was much smaller than before
If all things live but for to die
may all things pass before my eyes
before the shine has gone away

Under a canopy of blue
jet streams trailing out of view
I watch them fading as you say
"if all things live but for to die
may all things pass before my eyes
before the shine has gone away"
If all things live but for to die
may all things pass before your eyes
before the shine has gone away
