Lyrics:

Old as I am, older than
The threads of understanding which we weave between us
And old as you are, older by far
Than the contours of the love which we leave behind us

And bold as I am, bolder than
The pioneers who trekked their way across the desert
Bold as you are, bolder by far
Than the lovers who have swum the tide to be together

Are we old enough and bold enough to say goodbye?
Are we old enough and bold enough that we do not need to cry?
Well, I am not so old and not so bold I don't need you more
Now the light is slowly beckoning you
To the shore

Cold is the ground for which you're bound
It's a place where we can never more be together
And cold is the air that takes you there
On a passage that will end with your end forever

But it's not so cold I do not feel the warmth of your skin
And it's not so cold I do not know the fires that burn within you
Though they are fading now I wish that they would blaze once more
And keep you from the light that's slowly beckoning you
To the shore
If I could sail the seas of time then I would keep you from harm
But I am no sailor and I cannot warn you
Though there is nothing in my life I ever wanted more
Than to keep you from the light that's slowly beckoning you
Than to shield you from the light that's slowly beckoning you
To the shore
