We’ll always last
Leaves are few, mostly blowing; birds are flocking soon they’ll
be going
And another year of opportunities will be blanketed in white
as it’s snowing
Months go by, surroundings change, shuffle the furniture,
and rearrange
No matter the background when you’re not here the whole
place seems strange
Look up and down the street at the new faces, been here so
long all that remain are traces
Walk my dogs and greet neighbors, I see you in my mind as I
bend down to tie my shoelaces
This is where we should be holding hands, walking along
laughing babe remember our plans?
To see you drive up to the house would cause me to go down
that street doing handstands
You’re the glow from a nice warm fire, throwing off warmth
and light
You’re the arms that fulfill my desire, make me loose yet
hold me tight
You’re the ebb and the flow, you’re my tide, drink you in or
go for a ride
You’re my future and my past, you always come first and babe
we’ll always last
We’ll always last
Babies cry and the pain just grows, forsaking your sanity
eventually shows
Close your eyes and picture a perfect day that comes and
then never goes
Money and evil share a room, seemingly pushing you closer to
your doom
But baby we’re not ready for the end, and we’re not heading
for our tomb
You’re the glow from a nice warm fire, throwing off warmth
and light
You’re the arms that fulfill my desire, make me loose yet
hold me tight
You’re the ebb and the flow, you’re my tide, drink you in or
go for a ride
You’re my future and my past, you always come first and babe
we’ll always last
We’ll always last
