This day is getting older and the fading light is beautiful
This wind is blowing colder and too soon i'll feel its pull
still i took all my chances burned myself an even scar trying to learn my lessons well
and i don't have the answers for those questions anymore, only love can be both heaven and hell
so steady up steady up your heart for the road is long ahead
i'll be with you even though we are apart but this road is yours to tread
and so it goes, and so it goes and so it goes, slows your mind

i've grown old on this ocean, gave her all my stronger years
gave my wife my devotion when she died the ocen my tears
i've tried to teach you well son, all of everything i knew of how to live this life be true
don't bow your head to no one and no matter what you do if you start then see it through
so steady up steady up your heart for the road is long ahead
i'll be with you even though we are apart but this road is yours to tread
and so it goes, and so it goes and so it goes, slows your mind
Enjoy,
Neeky xoxo
