eternity's edge

As the clock ticks by, I feel the weight of years
Dragging me down towards the end of my fears
I try to hold tight to the love we once shared, but it's like a dream fleeting and rare

Eternity's edge is slipping away and I can't slow it down
The past is just a memory, the present fades away
All the love I've known, the laughter and the tears, they fade into the distance
As I near the end of my years, I thought I had forever, but forever's slipping away

I try to hold on to the present, but it's already fading
All the moments we shared, the love we made, they're just memories now
A love that's been left too late

Eternity's edge is slipping away and I can't slow it down
The past is just a memory, the present fades away
All the love I've known, the laughter and the tears, they fade into the distance
As I near the end of my years

I wish I could turn back time, make it all last, but it's too late now
I have to face the truth
That all we are is a fleeting moment, a spark in the dark
And eventually we all have to say goodbye

I try to move on, but I'm haunted by the past
All the things I left behind, the love that didn't last
I search for something new, something to fill the void
But it's like chasing the wind, it's always just out of reach

I find myself alone in the twilight of my days
With nothing but regrets and the shadows of my ways
I think of all the things I wish I could undo
And change the way it all played out, but it's too late to

I close my eyes and I'm back there in the place we used to be
Young and in love with the world at our feet
But when I open my eyes, the world keeps spinning on
And I'm left with nothing but the echo of all of that's gone
