Years Roll By
A reflection on time passing and connections fading.

Verse 1
We always say we're going to get together someday
We'll make a plan, we'll get it done.
But the day grows long
And life goes on
And the years roll by
Verse 2
We try to take an interest
Ask each other what's going on
Try to keep on listening
Long after we're gone
But the day grows long
And life goes on
And the years roll by
Bridge
We would have thrown a line
To the other side
We would have walked on fire
To save each other's hide
We walked the walk
We talked the talk
We did the time
Outro
We try to pretend
That morning never happened
We didn't have to stand around wide-eyed
While our love died
But the day grows long
And life goes on
And the years roll by
