Time has shown its face
Too many words, too many hopes
And too much we've learned
 
And life won't wait in comfortable chairs
You look so bleak without a care
 
Sometimes her eyes close before nightfall
And sometimes my eyes close before nightfall
Cancer calls
 
Dancing on the seams
Leaves from a tree
All that fades and all that we feed
 
And I can be brave if you can be bare
Stripping the life and taking what's there
 
Sometimes her eyes close before nightfall
 
Take these wings and learn to fly
Hold these eyes which never cry
Watch on me just like a child
 
Sometimes my eyes close
And sometimes her eyes close before nightfall
Cancer calls
