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
