gone

 

come take me by the hand & lead me through the night
songs spill into the air & we'll drink to ourselves here way up high
in town lights shining -- this is the place for me now
blood -- loving every word & this hill, yourself & i

oh, days so long
oh, when you're young

two underneath a tree -- my hands are turning blue
oh, stars shiver in the night & i pass a cigarette back to you
in town lights shining -- this is the place for me now
& i can't stop smiling -- high on a hill looking down

oh, days so long
oh, when you're young
oh, then they're gone

oh, days so long
oh, when you're young
oh, then they're gone

& if you ask me now
my worst fear
well is it better now?
this time next year
you'll be gone & i'll still be here
