The first time I remembered you, the world we knew was young, With hardly a hope or dream to hold. But time and fate have done their worst To unstring the faith we've strung, And the world that we once knew, now it seems old. And time comes to claim me, like the lover I once knew, When the world was young, and life had just begun. But life runs in cycles, and the cycles never end; The marks we make are all that will remain. There's no way to stop time's turning; on the motion life depends. Now we only wander pathways in some game. Till time comes to claim me, like the lover I once knew, When the world was young — the game had just begun. So come and walk beside me, and we'll see what can be seen, On the highways and the byways of this land. We'll answer all the questions down through eternity, But the journey ends the way that it began. When time comes to claim me, like the lover I once knew, When the world was young, and love had just begun.
