Wakes Young Again
Her face is wrinkled from
The wearing of time
Hides the life behind her eyes
The mornings are cold again
As the seasons pass her by
She lies awake
Trying to remember
Her fleeting former life
We left time to be young again
Weighed our worth against our sins
Our hands betray the lives inside
Where we feel at home
The nurse brings poison
To his bedside
His friends call
From empty televisions
The song begins without warning
It's the white in his eyes
That keeps them pounding downward
On the life he left behind
