Hours Of Life Lyrics

Hours of Life

Shadows of gold cast for our eyes

In a tall and darkened wood we're looking up to see the skies

City walls between which gamblers jump and play

Who swim and bathe in fear pulling us away

But I'll find you again though we may have separate ends

And hide with you till the day breaks on our skin

At some corner store by a field on a dirt highway

That steers us deep all through the day

Reels of film found on a dusty attic floor

We light the fading days of a time that's lost before

Of beat up cars with narrow wheels and men with guns

Closing in beneath the street lamps as they run

And although we're both afraid I am with you all along

As we cut through a park where an old man strums a song

Of a love that thought him lost and went her way with no goodbye

He sings of his pain but he never cries

He knows he'll be with her soon on the other side

From these trails we soon depart

We're keeping our hands clasped in the dark

A misty autumn breeze settling around

But we know the day will come to light a path that heads our way

And steers us deep all through the day
