Lyrics

By and by, the weeds run high
And a dusty wind blows over the old place
Bit by bit, the memory of it
Returns to haunt me in familiar voices along those old pathways
Side by side, we laughed so hard we cried
And stayed up all night, getting rowdy, and making a scene everywhere
But day by day, some drift further away
And some pass through the curtain, and we can't follow there
What could ever stop this parade of days
From takin' everything you love away?
And what am I so afraid of?
If it won't break your heart, it ain't love

Line by line, this cruel world undermines
All that you fought for, they suck the soul of it and give you back the grief
Turn by turn, everyone learns
To guard their speech, and knot up their heart in disbelief
What could ever stop this parade of days
From takin' everything you love away?
And what am I so afraid of?
If it won't break your heart, it ain't love
If it won't break your heart
If it won't break your heart, it ain't love
