The Dying of the Light (Acoustic Version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I keep on running but I can't get to the mountain Behind me lie the years that I've misspent And I've been singing like a flower in the fountain When all the love I'm gonna need is heaven sent [Pre-Chorus] Gonna try my best to get there But I can't afford the bus fare And the storm that's rolling over Man, it makes me wanna cry [Chorus] And I was told The streets were paved with gold And there'd be no time for getting old when we were young It's alright if you dancе with me tonight We'll fight the dying of thе light and we'll catch the sun [Verse 2] Woke up sleeping on a train that was bound from nowhere Echoes that I could hear were all my own The world had turned and I'd become a stranger And I'm tired of watching all the flowers turn to stone [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause I tried my best to get there But I can't afford the bus fare And the storm that's rolling over Man, it makes me wanna cry And the cold against my shoulder When it comes on in the winter And it seems to last forever And it makes me wanna, it makes me wanna cry [Chorus] I was told That the streets were paved with gold And there'd be no time for getting old when we were young It's alright if you dance with me tonight We'll fight the dying of the light and we'll catch the sun [Pre-Chorus] Gonna try my best to get there But I can't afford the bus fare And the storm that's rolling over Man, it makes me wanna cry [Chorus] And I was told That the streets were paved with gold And there'd be no time for getting old when we were young It's alright if you dance with me tonight We'll fight the dying of the light and we'll catch the sun [Outro] And the cold against my shoulder When it comes on in the winter Man, it makes me wanna cry And the cold against my shoulder And it seems to last forever And it makes me wanna, it makes me wanna cry
