The Length of Days
The winds are going still
The stars shoot along the sky
The fox is on the hill
The night has come to say good-bye
I've sung in former day
I've weeped and wailed with open heart
I've loved and lost and failed
I was always there to play my part
The length of days
When I was young they'd never end
And now as I fade
All those days are mostly played
The length of days
Are shorter than they were before
Alas, they've passed
With years of life and loves galore
My children now are grown
My friends are here, somewhere, or gone
My loves are in my heart
They're all in there where they live on
The road of life goes far
An uphill climb where bends are hard
The person I've become
Is measured by the deeds I've done
The length of days
When I was young they'd never end
And now as I fade
All those days are mostly played
The length of days
Are shorter than they were before
Alas, they've passed
With years of life and loves galore
The call of my last day
Iv'e often feared that fatal blow
But I know that I was gay
And ended with a peaceful glow
The winds are going still
The stars shoot along the sky
The fox is on the hill
The night has come to say good-bye
The length of days
When I was young they'd never end
And now as I fade
All those days are mostly played
The length of days
Are shorter than they were before
Alas, they've passed
With years of life and loves galore
The stars shoot along the sky
The fox is on the hill
The night has come to say good-bye
I've sung in former day
I've weeped and wailed with open heart
I've loved and lost and failed
I was always there to play my part
The length of days
When I was young they'd never end
And now as I fade
All those days are mostly played
The length of days
Are shorter than they were before
Alas, they've passed
With years of life and loves galore
My children now are grown
My friends are here, somewhere, or gone
My loves are in my heart
They're all in there where they live on
The road of life goes far
An uphill climb where bends are hard
The person I've become
Is measured by the deeds I've done
The length of days
When I was young they'd never end
And now as I fade
All those days are mostly played
The length of days
Are shorter than they were before
Alas, they've passed
With years of life and loves galore
The call of my last day
Iv'e often feared that fatal blow
But I know that I was gay
And ended with a peaceful glow
The winds are going still
The stars shoot along the sky
The fox is on the hill
The night has come to say good-bye
The length of days
When I was young they'd never end
And now as I fade
All those days are mostly played
The length of days
Are shorter than they were before
Alas, they've passed
With years of life and loves galore
