When your bones give in and your hair grows thin There's more lines than skin in the mirror When your mind gives up 'cause your thoughts get stuck And your words don't come quite as easy So you dwell in dreams of dying Do you think it feels like falling or flying? There's a swell in days of hoping That there'll be somebody waiting where you're going When your Christmas cards came in thick and fast As the years go past they get fewer When your friends have gone, still you stumble on While the younger ones went before you So you dwell in dreams of dying Do you think it feels like falling or flying? There's a swell in days of hoping That there'll be somebody waiting where you're going Step outside, there is pleasure yet In soft spring air; let it fill your chest So step outside, for the days still left And feel the life in the power of your breath So you dwell in dreams of dying Do you think it feels like falling or flying? There's a swell in days of hoping That there'll be somebody waiting where you're going So you dwell in dreams of dying Do you think it feels like falling or flying? There's a swell in days of hoping That there'll be somebody waiting where you're going
