Every night I dream

The same dream

Of getting older

And older all the time

I ask you now

What does this mean

Are these problems

Just in my mind

Things are easy

When you're a child

But now these pressures

Have dropped on my head

The length I've gone are

Just long miles

Would they be shorter

If I were dead

Every time I look

In my past

I always wish

I was there

I wish my youth

Would forever last

Why are these times so unfair

Look at my friends

And see what they've done

Ask myself why

They've had to change

I like them better

When they were young

Now all these

Times are rearranged

I look down and

Stand there and cry

Nothing ever

Will be the same

The sun is rising

Now I ask why

The clouds now fall

And here comes the rain

Every time I look

In my past

I always wish

I was there

I wish my youth

Would forever last

Why are these

Times so unfair

Every night

I dream the same dream

Of getting older

And older all the time

I ask you now

What does this mean

Are these problems

Just in my mind

Things are easy

When you're a child

But now these pressures

Have dropped on my head

The length

I've gone are

Just long miles

Would they be shorter

If I were dead

Every time

I look in my past

I always wish

I was there

I wish my youth

Would forever last

Why are these

Times so unfair
