From the recording False Saint
Lyrics
I still remember the days of old,
The winds of winters were never cold,
A bright tomorrow was ours to hold,
The sun, the moon and the skies were always bright.
Now something strange is in the air,
I can feel it everywhere,
Cold summer winds blowing through her hair,
Turning all my days to moonless night.
Oh I can see the dawning of my Last Days of Youth.
Old time friends have gone away,
Saying goodbye to yesterday,
Name your price and I’m sure to pay,
I’d do anything to live those days again.
To turn away is so hard to do,
But all my prayers will be with you,
We’ll meet again when the days are new,
May the grace of heaven shine on you till then.
These are the days for the dawning of my Last Days of Youth.
Not a thing around seems the same,
Only faces and only names,
In this world of endless rain,
How I long for all those days when we were young.
To all the people I’ve loved and hate,
I pray to God it’s not too late,
To heal the scars of the wrongs we’ve made,
Let me give to you the gift of every song I’ve sung.
May they live on beyond the times of your Last Days of Youth.
