The Same Old Way

I close my eyes
To see you gathering together
I close my eyes
But feel you’re still so far away
And all the while
The hand is moving on
To turn round and round and round
Time isn't on our side
I open my eyes
To see the last minutes
Ticking away
To see it’s going on
The same old way

Covered by the big sleep
They go on
Building their castles in the sand
Embarrassed to watch it go
To pieces again
But they go on and on and on
Living tomorrow and yesterday
We’re now and here
Maybe now and here we’re gonna
Live on the same old way
Now I open my eyes
As the last minute is ticking away
For now and here it's the same
...the same old way
...the same old way
