The time has come For us to see If you'll take me once again But darlin' I'll be back I'll be reborn I know I'll always want to be your friend This life was like climbing So glad I put the time in I've got so used to loving you In this life, you sure blessed me Why would I want to get free? I've been so happy loving you I've lived too long Lost so much time I must accept I might be finally dying, yeah What will survive Is my consciousness (It's what I'd guess) And when I'm alive again you'll be my happiness (Yes, yes, yes) Next life I will be climbing again So glad I put the time in, and then I'll remember how I once loved only you In this life, you sure blessed me I would want that again, you see To be happy again by loving you I was young, rigged guitar Long hair, big car No more "big star" Just be happy and go far Not too far Love my town, love the boys Down the Goldhawk Bar Parkas and boxing boots Faces were doing toots We had no cash for that Just had some hash for that Lost my virginity Kate took the piss out of me Didn't care much who doubted me Then I found dignity with you This life was like climbing I'm so glad I put the time in I got so used to loving you In this life, you sure blessed me Why would I want to get free? I've been so happy loving you Do you believe in life after this? What science decries as only a myth We hang on to dreams like pagans From some ancient days Then we get on and live out our life Till we're looking right into the light We'll only know for sure When we're lost in the haze The time has come For us to see If you'll take me once again But darling, I'll be back I'll be reborn And I know I'll always want to be your friend I'll always want to be your friend
