When shadows run short, we all must confront the inevitability of mortality and loss. From The Youngbloods' "Let's Get Together": "We are but a moment's sunlight/Fading in the grass."
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house
With a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself
"Well, how did I get here?"
Mother weep the years I'm missing
All our time can't be given
Back
Don't hang on
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy
When you feel that your life's become a catastrophe ...
When you look through the years and see what you could have been
Oh, what you might have been
If you had had more time
