[00:00.00]
[00:29.00] Ah, ho-oo-oh-oo
[00:43.00] Fearless people,
[00:48.00] Careless needle.
[00:53.00] Harsh words spoken,
[00:57.00] And lives are broken.
[01:02.00] Forceful ageing,
[01:07.00] Help me I'm fading.
[01:12.00] Heaven's waiting,
[01:18.00] It's time to move on.
[01:25.00] Crossing that bridge,
[01:28.00] With lessons I've learned.
[01:30.00] Playing with fire,
[01:32.00] And not getting burned.
[01:35.00] I may not know what you're going through.
[01:40.00] But time is the space,
[01:42.00] Between me and you.
[01:44.00] Life carries on... it goes on.
[01:56.00] Just say die,
[01:58.00] And that would be pessimistic.
[02:01.00] In your mind,
[02:03.00] We can walk across the water.
[02:06.00] Please don't cry,
[02:08.00] It's just a prayer for the dying.
[02:11.00] I just don't know what's got into me.
[02:18.00] Crossing that bridge,
[02:19.00] Been crossin' that bridge,
[02:20.00] With lessons I've learned.
[02:21.00] With lessons I've learned.
[02:23.00] Playing with fire,
[02:23.00] Playing with fire,
[02:25.00] And not getting burned.
[02:28.00] I may not know what you're going through,
[02:32.00] But time is the space,
[02:35.00] Between me and you.
[02:37.00] There is a light through that window
[02:42.00] Hold on say yes, while people say no
[02:47.00] Life carries on
[02:52.00] Ohh!
[02:57.00] It goes on....oh-ee-oh, whoa-ee-oh ho oh...
[03:18.00] I'm crossing that bridge,
[03:20.00] With lessons I've learned....
[03:28.00] I'm playing with fire,
[03:30.00] And not getting burned....
[03:37.00] I may not know what you're going through.
[03:41.00] But time is the space,
[03:44.00] Between me and you.
[03:47.00] There is a light through that window.
[03:51.00] Hold on say yes, while people say no
[03:59.00] 'Cause life carries on....oh-ee-oh, whoa-ee-oh ho on...
[04:09.00] It goes on....oh-ee-on,
[04:14.00] It goes on.
[04:18.00] Whoah.
[04:20.00] Whoah.
[04:23.00] Life carries on.
[04:34.00] When nothing else matters.
[04:42.00] When nothing else matters.
[04:50.00] I just don't know what's got into me.
[05:01.00] It's just a prayer for the dying.
[05:06.00] For the dying.
[05:15.00]
[05:16.00] The End.
