[A] Old as I [D] am, older than
The [A] threads of understanding which [B] we weave between [D] [A] us
And old as you are, [A] older by far
Than the contours of love which we [B] leave behind [D] us
And bold as I am, [A] [F#m] bolder than
[D] [A] The pioneers who trekked their way [B] across the desert
[D] [A] And bold as you [D] are, [A] [A] bolder by [D] far
Than the lovers who have swum the tide to be [B] [A] together
[B] Are we old enough [A] and bold enough to say goodbye?

Well I am not so [A] old and not so bold, I [B] don't need you more
Now the light is [A] slowly beckoning [B] you to the [A] shore
And

cold is the [D] ground [A] for which you're bound
[A] It's a place where we can never [B] more be [A] together
[D] And cold is the [D] air [A] that takes you [D] there
[A] On a passage that will end with [B] your end forever
[D] [A] But [B] it's not so cold, I do not feel the [B] warmth of your [A] skin
And it's not so cold, I do not know the [B] fires that burn within [A] you
Though they are fading now, I wish the day would blaze once [A] more
[D]
[A] And keep you from the light that's slowly [B] beckoning you to the shore
[E]
If [A] I could sail the [A] seas of time, then I [B] would keep you from [A] harm
[D] [B] But I am no [A] sailor [B] and I cannot [A] warn you
Though there is nothing in my life I [B] ever wanted more
[A] Than to keep you from [A] the light that's [B] slowly beckoning you
Than to shield you from [A] the light that's slowly [B] beckoning you to the shore
