All in search of truth and bound for glory
Along beside your seventy-eights
The things you said are so much clearer now
The way these days just rip along
There are just one or two unkind things I said to you
Leave me watching and wishing I could follow
When I met the fools that a young fool meets
But daddy I want to let you know somehow
Though among the regrets that I can't get by
And I would turn the pages back but time will not allow
Make room for my forty-fives
Daddy what was I supposed to do?
Either fail or fade away
And listening to our own heart beats we stood around the drum
Too fast to last, too vast, too strong
Living your life day after day
I guess my anger pulled me through
Though it's fainter now the older I become
Somewhere something went wrong
Or maybe we forgot the song
Leaving so much still left to say
Soon all your plans and changes
I don't know why it was so hard to talk to you
Nothing survives but the way we live our lives
No sooner had I hit the streets
