You've come a long way now   You lived your life in conversation   The rumour in your mind has sold   and I just want you carry on      You've come a long way now   We've all lived life in conversation   The gift of olderness has shown   and you're on time      All the lines in the sand, lead me back again   its clearer now from where I am, and the colours are shifting   The depth of you like an open hand, I know you're with me      'cos you're making me breathe   (You're) All that I live for, you and I are carrying the load   Down on my knees, all that I hope for, you and I alone      All of the things they said wouldn't last   All of the time keeps slipping to the past   No one can say before it won't last
