AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF DEAD - Halcyon Days lyrics

rate me

There, but for the grace of our Gods go you and I<br />

Down roads none dare to follow<br />

Sands buried the graves of our former lives<br />

Smile and wave and let them go<br />

To rise above the mires of old days long died<br />

Know they won't come again<br />

Let the years roll in and drown our yesterdays<br />

<br />

Time is a stream with no end in sight<br />

As dark as it is cold<br />

Flowing by as we pray for the source to run dry<br />

That we may never grow old<br />

We long to rest our tired bones by our fires<br />

And drink to the days<br />

Let the years roll in and drown our yesterdays<br />

<br />

Born on our knees we all long<br />

For a fawn to sooth and calm<br />

And with our arrows bring her down<br />

<br />

Here, let me rest in your loft for a while<br />

Before I have to walk home<br />

Through the streets bathed in the light<br />

Of a thousand fires<br />

Of a cold and angry world<br />

In time we'll reconcile with old days long died<br />

Know they won't come again<br />

Let the years roll in, drown our yesterdays
