Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - The Dying of the Light lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

We keep on running but we can't get to the mountain

Behind the mighty(?!) years that I have spend

I've been sinking like a flower in a fountain

When all the world I'm gonna need is heaven sent

(Pre-Chorus)

And I've tried my best to get there

But I can't afford the bus fair

And the storm that's rolling over

And it makes me wanna cry

(Chorus)

And I was told these dreams were paved with gold

There'd be no time for getting old when we were young

It's alright, if we're dead, we'll meet tonight

We'll fight the dying of the light, we'll catch the sun

(Verse 2)

Woke up sleeping on a train that was bound for nowhere

Echoes that I could hear were all my own

The world would turn and I've become a stranger

And I'm tired of watching all the flowers turn to stone

(Pre-Chorus)

And I've tried my best to get there but I can't afford the bus fair

And the storm that's rolling over and it makes me wanna cry

And the cold that gets my shoulder, when it ____(?) all in the winter

And it seems to last forever and it makes me wanna, it makes me wanna cry

(Chorus)
