Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, a dirty wind blows through the sky
And the autumn leaves cut loose and fly
Leave me watching
And wishing I could follow
[Verse 2]
Though, among the regrets that I can't get by
There are just one or two
Unkind things I said to you
[Verse 3]
Daddy, what was I supposed to do?
I don't know why it was so hard to talk to you
I guess my anger pulled me through
[Verse 4]
No sooner had I hit the streets
When I met the fools that a young fool meets
All in search of truth and bound for glory
[Verse 5]
And listening to our own heartbeats
We stood around the drum
Though it's fainter now
The older I become
[Verse 6]
Living your life day after day
Soon, all your plans and changes either fail or fade away
Leaving so much still left to say
[Verse 7]
But Daddy, I wanna let you know somehow
The things you said are so much clearer now
And I would turn the pages back
But time will not allow
[Verse 8]
The way these days just rip along
Too fast to last
Too vast, too strong
[Verse 9]
Somewhere, something went wrong
Or maybe we forgot the song
Make room for my forty-fives
Along beside your seventy-eights
Nothing survives
But the way we live our lives
