lyrics

It's funny how the days go, they fall right off the wall
The sun can't keep up rising as quickly as it falls
Somewhere in those blue eyes is a place that feels like home
Everywhere a tree has fallen, something new must grow

May your young heart never falter, may you song always be sung
The wind always on your back to carry you along
I heard that old bird singing that old familiar song
But I never knew the words she sang until I sang along

So take my hand sweet darling, watch the sunrise bleeding through
We'll find a little solace in the pale face of the moon
So paint me something different, sculpt me something new
Like a portrait of a man trying to see this through

May your young heart never falter, may you song always be sung
The wind always on your back to carry you along
I heard that old bird singing that old familiar song
But I never knew the words she sang until I sang along
If I never find that alter, that chunk of land where I belong
I'll still find a little comfort while the morning bird sings your song
Someday when you are leaving to find where you belong
I'll be right here with that old bird
We'll be singing your song
