"Ballad Of The Golden Hour" lyrics

"Ballad Of The Golden Hour"

As the crow flies, as he walks in lines
He tells the time trailing from our eyes
And if we live until we're long in the teeth
Think of me, how I used to be

We could never stay forever
'Cause you know we're destined to go cold
It isn't over, till it's over
And what's good, is good as gold

As the times change, and our bodies go
Will we feel strange in a world that we don't know
And if we live until we're long in the teeth
We'll only dream of how it used to be

We could never stay forever
'Cause you know we're destined to go cold
Are you coming over? It isn't over
And what's good, is good as gold

All the light will surround you
Bright gold around you

It's all slowing down
It's all slowing down
It's all slowing down
It's all slowing down

It's all slowing down
It's all slowing down
It's all slowing down
It's all slowing down

It's all slowing down
It's all slowing down
It's all slowing down
