lyrics
I wanted to fall in love,
but I did not have the courage.
They come and go, they come and go
There's something in the way we hold our faces
And a sadness in the singing by the fireside
And an echo in the distance says,
"We die, we die, we die".
It is fearful for the singers are alive.
And I wanted to write a love song
But it seemed to call for too much courage,
Yes, I wanted to fall in love, in love, in love,
But I did not have the courage
They come and go, they come and go.
In the foam and the spray,
Breathing water as we wake.
We have lain upon the shore,
Let us linger there no more.
but I did not have the courage.
They come and go, they come and go
There's something in the way we hold our faces
And a sadness in the singing by the fireside
And an echo in the distance says,
"We die, we die, we die".
It is fearful for the singers are alive.
And I wanted to write a love song
But it seemed to call for too much courage,
Yes, I wanted to fall in love, in love, in love,
But I did not have the courage
They come and go, they come and go.
In the foam and the spray,
Breathing water as we wake.
We have lain upon the shore,
Let us linger there no more.
