Time, it never stands still It hunts, it steals and it kills Sitting on my shoulders As I'm getting older It's hard to miss the aging effect In spite of my insisting I am still persisting The overwhelming urge to connect And when all is said and done Nobody wants to be alone When your final race is run You always end up on your own I was never much good At being well understood Yes I am still trying Cos no-one is an island It's too late for the course to correct And when all is said and done Nobody wants to be alone When your final race is run You always end up on your own I only hope Before I go That you and I Have lived a life That's worth the while And when all is said and done Nobody wants to be alone When your final race is run You always end up on your own And when all is said and done Nobody wants to be alone When your final race is run You always end up on your own I only hope Before I go That you and I Have lived a life That's worth the while
