As Others Grow Lyrics

As Others Grow

As a dog's extra scent goes stale

As a bee's extra colours grow pale

As we lose time and our feelings fail, we go

As others grow we know

As others grow we know it's onward alone

There's no more work, it's rest

There's no more less, we're blessed

With so much peace, we've passed our last test

What a good life drunk or sober

Seemingly in a trice it's over

Marching off into the ice, a bold rover into the abyss

Can't get any older, can't get any colder,

Onward bold soldier into the mist

Our types tell of love

Our stripes tell of lovers

Who came shooting stars from their eyes

Who left us bruising scars and good byes

Our souls tell of hopes

Up and down our slippery slopes

Of our wins and our losses

Of our sins and our crosses, our truths sometimes we'd find

Our youth we'd left behind

As a dog's extra scent goes stale

As a bee's extra colours grow pale

As we lose time and our feelings fail, we go

As others grow
