"Save Me A Seat" lyrics

The first day I found gray
I was just twenty-two
And the shock took the breath out of me
It was the very first sign of my mortal decline
And that night I cried myself to sleep
And I dreamt about water
It filled up the room
And I tried but I could not escape
As I ran out of air
All my silvery hair
Wrapped around me
And shook me awake

Let the lights run like rivers all over my skin
Let youth be the last of my pride
Let the end roll towards me
I'm here for the journey
Just save me a seat by your side

And the years coming thicker
The stairs get so steep
I can't dance like I did in those days
And the world and its charms
Could be found in the arms
Of a marvelous looking mistake
And my share of the beauty
Our mother passed on
Is an echo I cannot contain
So I break every mirror
To see myself clearer
Or to find some excuse for the pain

Let the lies run like rivers all over my skin
Let youth be the last of my pride
Let the end roll towards me
I'm here for the journey
Just save me a seat by your side

So, let the lies run like rivers all over my skin
Let youth be the last of my pride
Let the end roll towards me
I'm here for the journey
Just save me a seat by your side
Let the end roll towards me
I'm here for the journey
Just save me a seat by your side
