Lyrics

Do the ribbons in my hair look far too girlish for the gray?
Do we put our hearts away - Who says it’s time?
I’d rather not look foolish … Maybe I’m too old to do this,
But we don’t get to choose our prime -
And yours might not be mine.

If we come too late to all we love
By the only road there was,
Do we not get to dance
For as long as we can
If not for as long as we want
If not for as long as we want?

Couldn’t wander any faster, had to weather every mile,
Couldn’t gather all the treasure in a day.
Wisdom in my eye, but all they see is the time
Gaining like an enemy.
And I try not to agree.

If we come too late to all we love
By the only road there was,
Do we not get to dance
For as long as we can
If not for as long as we want
If not for as long as we want?

The lines on my face, like the lines on the page
You cannot trade the heartbreak
For the song it brings
So I’m gonna sing … I’m gonna sing.

‘Cause we All come too late to all we love
By the only road there was.
And it is there we will dance
For as long as we can
If not for as long as we want
If not for as long as we want.
If not for as long as we want.
