Year on Year, Day by Day (Patchwork Version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well is life just a walk up a steep hill? You get to the top and then it's all downhill Spinning 'round like the arms of a windmill And you never slow down And is love just a foolish emotion? A Hollywood dream, just a childish notion Plenty of fish but I am miles from the ocean For I'm scared that I'll drown [Chorus] I always thought that I would see it coming Like a train rolling down the line I never dreamed that I would end up running Away from myself and out of time Hey, hey, hey I feel it slipping away Year on year Day by day [Verse 2] And how do you know when it's really crunch time? You could choke on a fortune cookie one unfortunate lunchtime And I fear death is just the final punch line Of this comedy show So make them laugh before you go [Chorus 2] I always thought that I would feel it coming Like a storm in a summer sky I thought I'd hear the marching band drumming Thought I'd see the fireworks reflect in her eyes, oh Hey, hey, hey I feel it slipping away Year on year Day by day [Bridge] Well, love can drag you under And it can feel so frightening Love can steal your thunder And strike you down with lightening And at the end of it you'll say [Chorus 3] I always thought that I would see it land And the hairs on the back of my neck would stand But there's no fireworks or marching band Just a letter from the queen if you live longer than planned oh Hey, hey, hey I feel it slipping away Year on year Day by day [Outro] Year on year Day by day
