Lyrics

While my love sleeps peaceful in our bed
Thoughts of endings crowd my head
Are all the clocks just winding down
To let life's splendor dim then drown?
Sudden panic sets my mind on fire
As I understand what time requires
If we can't recall before the womb
Why dread what's beyond the tomb?
Morning light keeps such thoughts at bay
As the magic and mundane fill our days
We love and laugh and work and toil
While time unwinds this mortal coil
Basking in the light before it's gone
Clutching moments that won't last long
Dismayed that beauty can just end
No more thoughts, feelings or friends
Somewhere beyond the pending dark
Is there grace to save our dying stars?
Perhaps it's futile or naive
To hope for some cosmic reprieve
We browse through markets and bazaars
Summer nights beneath glowing stars
Long drives with the windows down
Familiar streets in fading towns
Brilliant sunlight, pouring rain
Holding loved ones through their pain
Most the moments that fill our lives
Barely noticed as we pass by
Counted hours in finite supply
The strands of time so short a fray
Still we hope the wonder lasts
Even as it slips from our grasp
Basking in the light before it's gone
Clutching moments that won't last long
Dismayed that beauty can just end
No more thoughts, feelings or friends
Somewhere beyond the pending dark
Is there grace to save our dying stars?
Perhaps it's futile or naive
To hope for some cosmic reprieve
I want life's music always on
Can't bear the stillness of moving on
Don't want the magic to disappear
Like nothing ever happened here
If all this beauty lives and dies
How does its wonder fill our eyes?
Why does longing reach so far
To hold these brief and fading sparks?
Basking in the light before it's gone
Clutching moments that won't last long
Dismayed that beauty can just end
No more thoughts, feelings or friends
Somewhere beyond the pending dark
Is there grace to save our dying stars?
Perhaps it's futile or naive
To hope for some cosmic reprieve
Basking in the light before it's gone
Before it's gone
Before it's gone
