i'll be singing till i'm old and out of tune   until this world is through with you   till i can't stand up and i'm stuck in bed    till my neck gives out from underneath my head   till the snow falls down in the middle of july       now we've been waiting such a long time   for you to find time   find the strength to let me go   don't let me go      we used to paint such pretty pictures   used to dress this down in gold   and swear we're never growing old   and tired of this place we call our home   all we have is these nights we spend alone      and if they finally find the cure i'll be first in line   you know that every step you take i'll be just behind   we can climb this wall and dust this off our shoulders
