Ned Farr & The Good Red Road

Lyrics

Here is the gift
It’s yours to hold
There’s one life to live
Before you get old

There goes the gift
It turns to dust
So steal the gold from the rust
Before you get old

Before you get old
Before it gets dark
Before you grow cold
Losing your spark
Before you get lost
And die on the vine
Make the best of your time
Before you get old

Your hands that lift this precious gift
Up to the light tonight should live
So fill up your cup and hold that kiss
Before you get old

Before you get old and then you die
Before it gets dark and then you’re blind
Before it gets cold and then you’re numb
While losing you spark before your done
Before you get lost after your prime
Before you drown pain in all that wine
Before you sleep in your box of pine
Make the best of your time
Before you get old

Before it gets dark
Before you grow cold
While losing your spark
Before you get lost
And fade in time
Use what’s left of your mind
Before you get old

Before you get old and then you die
Before it gets dark and then you’re blind
Before it gets cold and then you’re numb
While losing your spark before your done
Before you get lost after your prime
Before you drown pain in all that wine
Before you sleep in your box of pine
Make the best of your time
Before you get old
Before you get old
Before you get old
Before it gets dark
Before you grow cold
Before you get lost
Before the last time
Before you get old
Before you get old
Before you get old
Before you get old
