Year on year, day by day lyrics

Well is life just a walk up a steep hill

You get to the top and then it’s all down hill

Spinning round like the arms of a windmill

And you never slow down

And is love just a foolish emotion

A Hollywood dream just a childish notion

Plenty of fish but I am miles from the ocean

For I’m scared that I’ll drown

I always thought that I would see it coming

Like a train rolling down the line

I never dreamed that I would end up running

Away from myself and out of time

Hey hey hey I feel it slipping away

Year on year

Day by day

And how do you know when it’s really crunch time

You could choke on a fortune cookie one unfortunate lunchtime

And I fear death is just the final punch line

Of this comedy show

So make them laugh before you go

I always thought that I would feel it coming

Like a storm in a summer sky

I thought I’d hear the marching band drumming

Thought i’d see the fireworks reflect in her eyes oh

Hey hey hey I feel it slipping away

Year on year

Day by day

Well love can drag you under

And it can feel so frightening

Love can steal your thunder

And strike you down with lightening

And at the end of it you’ll say

I always thought that I would see it land

and the hairs on the back of my neck would stand

but there’s no fireworks or marching band

Just a letter from the queen if you live longer than planned oh

Hey hey hey I feel it slipping away

Year on year

Day by day

Year on year

Day by day
