lyrics

Migrating birds singing louder
before they head south for the winter
I watched leaves fall in the garden
Still got to pick them out the gutter

Watching years fly
don't know where to
Don't know why

I head down to the station
the diesel's been ditched for electrification
Posters tell of a bright new future
Driverless cars and tailored advertising

I asked myself why
we can can't stay? just for one day; after last orders?
just to hold them for one last time; I ask myself why days fly away.

I asked myself why
we can't stay? Forever? Forever?
our universe, is vast and open, yet we don't have time to find our way
and to hold on to the ones we love
that we had to let go, too long ago
why do years fly​?
