The room was dark and the air was stale
and he sat in the corner underneath the clock
and i walked up behind him and pulled up a chair
and wondered how long he'd been sitting there
He turned his head and said to me
dont ever get old like me
and i turned away so i wouldnt see
how much he looked like me
And maybe time is crueler to some
and maybe it lies to us all
but without the years it all seems the same
and the time we've lived since the fall
And I told him that I'd found a girl
with rosy lips and long brown hair
and I was going to settle down
and try to find something peaceful there
He pulled me close and smiled at me
treat her well and she'll be true
and don't let your own destiny
stand in the way of the beautiful view
And maybe time is crueler to some
and maybe it lies to us all
but without the years it all seems the same
and the time we've lived since the fall
