True What They Say

Well, I'm older
I pull my coat tight round my shoulders
The trees have turned black
The wind's colder
The river is icy grey

And I stop
And I turn
I could swear
But it's not
For a second there I forgot
It happens most every day

Is it true what they say?
I see the daylight fade away
I wander & I stray
Don't leave me here
I am strong and then I'm not
See, these chains are all I've got
I've tried, but not a lot
Don't leave me here

He said
Son, you know one day I'll be gone
Walk on
Memories they fade away

Here I stand
On a ridge in no man's land
Ready to move on, but I can't
Tomorrow's another day

Is it true what they say?
I see the daylight fade away
I wander & I stray
Don't leave me here
I am strong and then I'm not
And these chains are all I've got
I've tried, but not a lot
Don't leave me here

So it's true what they say
& I don't wanna fade away
Wander & stray
Don't leave me here
I am strong and then I'm not
See these chains are all I've got
Yeah I lied, but not a lot
Don't leave me here

I hear your footsteps everywhere
Feel your fingers run through my hair
I turn and there's no one there
Don't leave me here
