A sad fact widely known. The most impassionate song. To a lonely soul. Is so easily outgrown. But don't forget the songs. That made you smile. And the songs that made you cry. When you lay in awe. On the bedroom floor. And said: "Oh oh smother me Mother...". La-la-ley la-la-ley la-la-ley!. The passing of time. And all of its crimes. Is making me sad again. The passing of time. And all of its sickening crimes. Is making me sad again. But don't forget the songs. That made you cry. And the songs that saved your life. Yes you're older now. And you're a clever swine. But they were the only ones. who ever stood by you. The passing of time leaves empty lives. Waiting to be filled. The passing of time. Leaves empty lives. Waiting to be filled. I'm here with the cause. I'm holding the torch. In the corner of your room. Can you hear me?. And when you're dancing and laughing. And finally living. Hear my voice in your head. And think of me kindly. La-la-ley la-la-ley la-la-ley!. Do you love me. Like you used to?. La-la-ley la-la-ley la-la-ley!. You're clever. Everybody's clever nowadays. You're clever. Everybody's clever nowadays. You are sleeping. You do not want to believe. You are sleeping. You do not want to believe. You are sleeping. You do not want to believe. You are sleeping
