As Long as We Last

Just a flash of light in the endless night and it's done

One day, a diamondback from the flour sack is gonna come

I hear the old folks when they say

It's funny how time slips away

I hear the old folks when they say

Days getting shorter every day

Then the box and stone, a little weep and moan and it's done

Flesh and bone will pay off the loan when it's done

I hear the old folks when they say

It's funny how time slips away

I hear the old folks when they say

Days getting shorter every day

Come here now

You better come fast

Come here now

As long as we last

No more two by two, no more me and you when it's done

Dreams and photographs are what will be left when it's done

I hear the old folks when they say

It's funny how time slips away

I hear the old folks when they say

Days getting shorter every day

Come here now

You better come fast

Come here now

As long as we last

Come here now

You better come fast

Come here now

As long as we last
