I am only as sure
As the sun falling low
Like a bird learns to fly
Like a man learns to cry

I’ve been drinking away
And not singing enough
So I’m taking to flight
In an effort to fight
My diminishing ways
These diminishing days
Somehow I am always moving away

Do you ever dream
Of taking your life
To make into something your own
Do you ever dream
Of taking your life
For I dream of taking my own
To put in the hands you love
to put in the hands that you love

So do not be alarmed
If I leave you behind
And it fills up your eyes
All shadows shorten in time
All shadows shorten in time
