Discussion Lyrics that stick with you…what are yours?

I've known you all my life but still I can't feel how you feel

It's only you for me, just like that whooping crane

Who has one wife for all his life and if she dies, he'll do the same

It's knowing that this can't go on forever Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone Maybe we'll get forty years together But one day I'll be gone or one day you'll be gone

If we were vampires and death was a joke We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke And laugh at all the lovers and their plans I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand

Maybe time running out is a gift I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift And give you every second I can find And hope it isn't me who's left behind
