Thank you for sheltering me under your wing
But now our time has slipped away
We sailed the silent waters to the moon and back
But our shelf life’s come today
So you will follow all of your dreams
And I will follow mine
And if we’ve learned one thing, it’s to never look back
Cause time just keeps on marching
Down that disappearing line
So the days will speed away from us
Caught up in our helter-skelter haze
And the chasm we have cleft will open wide
And bittersweet remembrances will come to take their place
And as a week becomes a month
And a month becomes a season
And a season turns to gold and ice
And we're fishing for a reason
And second by second time will tick and tock away
And we’ll wonder what we did and where it’s gone
And second by second time will tick and tock away
And we’ll wonder what we did and where it’s gone
Try to catch it - but you can’t
Try to catch it
But it flutters just beyond your fingertips
Just there out of reach
Dying in the corner of your eye
Dying in the corner of your eye
Like a tear
Drying in the corner of your eye
There is nothing we can teach you
For time is like a mirror of the soul
You try to catch a fleeting glimpse a second time around
But, it's gone forever, falling through a black, black hole
So, thank you for sheltering me under your wings
Tomorrows have become our yesterdays
And all the moments shared are just our shadows on the wall
Our shelf life came today
