All I need now is some golden wings that I may fly   But it drops down on me this weight of time   And the pain in their eyes      I crawled along my cracked and narrow path   And saw my reflection in some broken glass   It was blood red blood red and it said   That the years they stay and then move on   And like yesterday you have come and gone   You have reached your end   And you know that even though there is summer   There is also a fall   (The cold will stay the warmth will leave)   If to live is to sin then this must be done   For whatever you do is evil to someone   But it's killing me it's killing me      So I'm headed out to that road that winds forever and ever   But it drops down on me the weight of time   And the pain in their eyes   Standing here on my freedoms shore   There is nothing left there is nothing more   (Than to rise so high and then to fall)   Some songs are prayers and this one prays   "It is better to live free for a moment than a   slave for a day"   To fade away   Fade away   Fade away
