When I was a younger man When I was a silly boy I didn't need a thing I was strong as anything I viewed solitude as a joy But since I met you I'm distraught You wandered in and now I'm caught I never thought I would see Someone so truly good Someone who's so everything I'm not I want to spend my life with you Don't want to live all alone I can't conceive of the years left to me Without you in our home But what if what if what if what If it's not perfect then it's not But every care I take Nothing I won't forsake To dwell beside what you've got Every time I think about you I think I can't live without you I tell you something I am nothing without you I want to spend my life with you Don't want to live all alone I can't conceive of the years left to me Without you in our home I want to spend my life with you Don't want to live all alone I can't conceive of the years left to me Without you in our home Without you in our home

When I was a younger man When I was a silly boy I didn't need a thing I was strong as anything I viewed solitude as a joy But since I met you I'm distraught You wandered in and now I'm caught I never thought I would see someone so truly good Someone who is so everything I'm not I want to spend my life with you Don't want to live all alone I can't conceive of the years left to me Without you in our home But what if, what if, what if what? If it's not perfect then it's not But every care I take Nothing I won't forsake To dwell beside what you've got Every time I think about you I think I can't live without you I tell you something I am nothing without you I want to spend my life with you Don't want to live all alone I can't conceive of the years left to me Without you in our home I want to spend my life with you Don't want to live all alone I can't conceive of the years left to me Without you in our home Without you in our home

Since I started being impressed By the things that move me All the treasures that I missed Came back to stand around me And as I curse the wasted time I lift my head to say Thank you God you gave the strength That helped me walk away All the fear and anger Still stays within my heart And I can't recall the last time I imagined they'd depart But this is what I'm going to do When they force me to doubt I'll ask for what I know remains To help me sing them out As rays of sun shine through the clouds To heat the soaking ground So when we come to sing the shouts We'll burn the theatres down Let every disbelieving sneer That looked me in the back Turn, come towards us, and feel the first attack.

Along these broken pavements I let my mind run free The past and the present Seem just the same to me The people I have loved most Among these stones they dwell And in the cleanest language The stories they did tell They pass, they pass, they pass, they pass The streets of Edinburgh Hold half the world for me In scores, in droves, the living and the ghosts The streets of Edinburgh Mean most to me Depending on your view point This place is blessed or cursed And in the years I've lived here I've seen the best and worst An air of sordid passion A look of dirty grace But not right in your face It's not that kind of place They pass, they pass, they pass, they pass The streets of Edinburgh Hold half the world for me In scores, in droves, the living and the ghosts The streets of Edinburgh Mean most to me Down greasy potholed roadways I watch the traffic crawl But for the cars and busses I give no thought at all I think about the future I wonder at her health How with this human wealth She does renew herself They pass, they pass, they pass, they pass The streets of Edinburgh Hold half the world for me In scores, in droves, the living and the ghosts The streets of Edinburgh Mean most to me

Shadows fall on our lives So quickly, my friend We feel warmth and see light Then darkness descends Shadows fall without warning And we stumble around Shadows fall without pity And there's no peace to be found Shadows fall on our lives So slowly, my friend We see them coming for miles But our happiness we don't defend Shadows fall where we let them As neglect turns to regret Shadows fall, do you never get them? Ah, you haven't lived long enough yet. Shadows fall on our loved ones When we are not to blame And we can't see any reason Why they're carrying all that pain Shadows fall right on them While there's light to their left and to their right So we try to help them step over But all they see is darkest night Shadows fall without warning And we stumble around Shadows fall without pity And there's no peace to be found
