Counting Down The Years

And so another letter falls A chime goes off again A thud upon the doormat, like a knife Reads out the story of your life A view of every shade of grey The buildings loom above No way is the only way White flags are blowing nearer I was busy doing nothing much Not hurting anyone at all And then the big announcement here That you were counting down the years When will I wake up? Oh Too much of anything's too much It's not all sex and sea A sticky hand is working overtime Trying to make the perfect crime A golden spoon or destitute The oldest tale of all Someone loses and someone wins And on and on forever I was hearing sounds from all around Was almost back to being myself But then your booming voice came loud Dispelling all my efforts Sometimes it's a must to deviate Some things are better left unsaid While I was ticking off my fears There you were counting down the years When will I wake up? Oh Don't die yet Don't die yet Don't die yet Don't die yet Don't die yet Don't die yet Don't die yet No, don't die yet How do I get through this? How do I get through this? How How Don't die yet Don't die yet (Your eyes are laughing) Don't die yet (They're laughing) Don't die yet (Your eyes are laughing) Don't die yet (They're laughing) Don't die yet (Your eyes are laughing) Don't die yet (They're laughing) No, don't die yet Don't die yet Don't die yet Don't die yet Don't die yet Don't die yet Don't die yet Don't die yet No, don't die yet
