I saw you by the water, your shoes getting wet I looked for your smile but it wasn't there... It's not that you were sad, though i knew you were running away It was time for you to go you said There was nothing i could do, We'll always have the memories, We'll always have our games... Just hold on to what you can, you told me And i cried when i should have laughed Because it might have been the last time things would be so simple Farewell to you, farewell to youth It was autumn day the air was cold Farewell to you, farewell to youth But isn't this what happens When you get too old Weigthlessness and make believe Were packed away our bag I asked if i could go with you But you said my place was here That my shoes were different They couldn't travel like yours With nothing left to say You slowly walked away You looked back just once but i could hardly see your face What was that look what was that look you gave It was autumn day the air was cold But isn't this what happens When you get too old Once more i whispered as you disappeared Farewell to you, farewell to youth
