He had a dream
It was haunting him at night
It would fly into his hands
So he tried to cage it
But he only made it fly away
He heard a song
It was running through his mind
It was singing from the past
So he tried to sing it
But he found he could not make it last
The world is falling apart
He's getting older
And there's a funeral in his heart
He was alone
With a picture of his life
On the outside looking in
So he tried to change it
But he lost the person he had been
The world is falling apart
He's getting older
And there's a funeral in his heart
Thunder moving under the mountain
Thunder in his dreams
Hoping that there must be a word for
Everything he means
He had a love
It was keeping him alive
It was someone else ago
So he tried to hide it
But he knew he'd never let it go
The world is falling apart
He's getting older
And there's a funeral in his heart
