lyrics
Evening night is fading; we stay in, debating
All that ever has been; and who will make a cup of tea.
Even though you told me; you sold me, you hold me
Now we lie a-awaiting; for the past to come again.
The young can do... anything
The old have been... everything.
I want to tell you, everything I've seen
But it's all so far away now... It slips into a dream.
Could have been a teacher; a preacher, a creature
You could still become them; and a hundred other things as well.
Mum and Dad retire; inspire, conspire
To make you all believe in things they never thought were true.
