Lyrics

The body was a bow, the arrow always drawn
Death was a ghost story, fading with the dawn
I moved like a giant, no shadow in my way
Immortal and reckless, I owned every day
But a line traced my face, a shadow in the glass
Indignant and restless, I watched the youth pass
I can still make the climb, I can still feel the fire
But the recovery's slow, and the muscles they tire
The years are shrinking, the weeks are losing days
The calendar's a blur, lost in a golden haze
It's a race against the sun, a sprint into the dark
The clock is ticking faster, leaving its mark
Then the house felt too quiet, the walls grew too wide
A ghost of a marriage, with nowhere to hide
I sought out the young, the neon, the light
Chasing the dawn through the middle of the night
Fifty-five Damn, when did the needle skip
Yesterday's fire is losing its grip
I feel like I'm walking towards a precipice, and I can't stop
Sixty-five now, standing on the drop
It's a freefall in slow motion, a wind in my ears
I'm losing the months, I'm losing the years
I swear since sixty, the hours have grown thin
The months are just paper, the walls closing in
Everything's smaller, the time is so brief
A life caught in transit, a falling leaf
I'm still here
