Way of all Flesh


Linger, oh please, linger
You ghosts of time long gone
Linger just a little more
Before you shuffle on

Stars, they burn out from the sky
And time makes dust of stone
All of us are but a flash
That fades away unknown

But linger, oh please, linger
I don't want you to leave
I need more than your memory
To hold me as I grieve

Stay, decay more slowly
Pray hold the tide at bay
Let me know you one last time
Before you fade away
