A Lifetime To Find

(album: Alpenglow - 2022)

Oh death, oh death, I was just getting dressed
The place is a mess
I was hoping you'd forget
But I can feel you in my chest, I can feel you in my chest

Oh yes, oh yes, death never rests
I can see you've done your best
The problem is just this, it is too late for regrets
I am here to collect

It takes a lifetime to find a life like the life you had in mind
It takes a lifetime to find a life like the life you had in mind
Now you're mine

Oh death, I confess, I should've known what to expect
But you're so hard to accept
Last time that I checked I was neck and neck
As happy as the next

Yes yes yes, you were blessed
Blessed in the past tense
But it's too late now to make it make sense
It is too late to pretend this day won't ever end

It takes a lifetime to find a life like the life you had in mind
It takes a lifetime to find a life like the life you had in mind
Now you're mine

So alright, today's the day and tonight is the night
There's no reason or no rhyme, it's just time to go goodbye
Oh but why can't you try to ease what's on my poor mind
Oh let's not obsess, it's the best I can do
To help you see the light and help the light to see you
It's true there is a truth, there was you and only you, never knew

It takes a lifetime to find a life like the life you had in mind
It takes a lifetime to find a life like the life you had in mind
It takes a lifetime to find a life like the life you had in mind
Now you're mine
