Life Goes By

The tide runs high and life keeps drifting by The sad faces walk by, never saying hi , strolling to the rhythms of the times their lows and highs , recorded by mans hasty replies Saying goodbye to life’s dreams as the tide swings slowly to and fro’ realizing the highs have all passed them by, never waking to see the lows Working all the day long , the dreary stuff slides by Bend to the task , chained to the life that never smiles Sad times all the day long , wasting our life away Frowns and moans all the day long , never giving a smile for the work goes on You own me and that’s the truth of it , from birth to death Working my life away Where do we go from here Melancholic bliss settles in life’s fateful kiss grasps your soul keeping your dreams alive There’s always hope, she replies, as it flies out the window On gossamer wings of steel an wire Reality is here and now it is time to say good bye
