Great Endeavor

We'll get older and time moves faster

I'll remember each cold December

That lead me into this great endeavor of

Getting older, your getting better my love

New Years' mountains and unknown valleys

Trails unbroken, the river's virgin to me still

The earth it grows I grow with it still

Resolutions they're said then broken

Lines that form near my neck and jawbone

Each one will tell of a great endeavor of

Getting older, your getting better my love

Unnamed canyons, they span the distance

I'm crawling towards the blurry oasis into the shade

The water's colder, the heat of life it fades

Dust to life, to life here, to life eternal

Dust to life, from life here to life eternal

I'm getting older, but getting better

We'll get older and time moves faster

I'll remember each cold December

That lead me into this great endeavor of

Getting older, your getting better my love
