lyrics

When I was young,
I played my tambourine
To the songs that were sung
Out there on the streets.
I would laugh with my boys
And cheer the serenade
That would spill from the bars
With all the games we played.
But I didn't know myself
And I didn't know it then
That the leaves that were falling
I wouldn't see again
So I laughed with my friends
And we cheered the serenade
It spilled from our hearts to fall away

And soon I learned
To play a game of hearts.
It was all I could do
But fumble with my cards
I asked you for a rematch
And for you to shuffle fair
But the time was marching on.....
So I drank with my friends
And we cheered the coming day
It spilled out from our hearts to fall away

There's a fire in heaven
But ashes at our feet
So I fled from the banquet
Stumbling to the beat
And though I didn't know myself
And I didn't know it then
All those I loved
I wouldn't see again
So I drank at last call
And I cheered the closing day
And I spilled from their hearts to fall away

Lethe's lights are all burning low.....
I'm burning low....
Lethe's lights are all I can know....
