The dawn of youth, the twilight years
The tender night we hold so dear
The memory of a smile, a tear
The slender thread that binds us here
I know the way from here
Trying to hide my tears
Crying for grace at the end of the day
I want to hold you and
Never let go, but I
Will come to find that you're slipping away
The dawn of youth, the twilight years
The tender night we hold so dear
The memory of a smile, a tear
The slender thread that binds us here
I long to speak with you
I try to reach for you
Wake up to find that there's nobody home
I walk away from here
Still I can feel you here
Forever with me, forever alone
So strong they hold, to be let go
And still they're there, light as air
The memory of a smile, a tear
The slender thread___ that binds___ us here
Chorus: (## repeat and fade to end ##)
The dawn of youth, the twilight years
The tender night we hold so dear
The memory of a smile, a tear
The slender thread that binds us here
