The Days Fly By

A week, a month, a year
The time keeps flowing by
When you are not here

The hours are oh so long
The days they never end
And yet the weeks they seem to slide by

Watch the months fall off the page
And watch the seasons change
To winter

Drinking my blood just to pass the time
Drop the glass and waste the day
You offered yours but better mine
And let it all just fade away

You sit upon your gilded throne
And hear the thunder's distant cries
It sings of sinners coming home
Each bearing wisdom in their eyes

Now all our plans have come undone
So let the leaves fall where they may
I know tomorrow's just begun
It doesn't matter anyway

So let the many come as one
I'll misdirect and lead astray
And with the setting of the sun
The stars will help me find my way

'Cause last night I heard your voices call
Your whispers followed me till dawn
But I heard your footsteps in the hall
And baby, I'm already gone
