We've walked the long road and you've worn it well.

You stitched yourself up when you fell.

Keep your memories in jars,

Carry secrets in scars

Beneath your shell.

You've seen some good days, and some bad ones too.

You travelled down through foreign lands,

Touched mountain tops and golden sand,

Seen pyramids and temples made of stone.

Keep seashells in a cashmere scarf,

A treasured book of photographs

In every single one you stand alone.

You've seen Vienna and the Berlin wall,

As you watched the decades fall
                       G
The letters that you wrote never made it home.

Your birthdays flew past like June,
A
With Christmas days in hotel rooms

You're older than you used to be,
A
The mirror weaves a tapestry
D             F#m            Bm
Of lines that dance and shimmer 'round your eyes.
Em              A
You stare back at a man, forever holding out his hand
F#m             D          Bm
As if the answer's gonna to fall out of the sky.

Em
But the penny never dropped,
F#m  G    A         D
And no man has ever stopped time flying by.
