verse 1 I am now the one she left A haunted tale for someone else A little bit about herself Wherever she is sleeping Flint strikes out to pierce the dark Cause a flame from just one spark Fill the room with smoke so harsh She exhales a memory The past is fadin' Over time, but it's still hangin' on for life verse 2 I'm now her used to be He is now the one she needs He is now the one she leans on She looks out at the sunset On a quilt of rags he holds her tight And they raise a toast of Bulleit Rye Whiskey kills all things in time Like things she don't remember The past is fadin' Over time, but it's still hanging on for life verse 3 I am now an old headstone And to her grave I'll die alone A testament of how she's grown Wherever she is sleepin' The past is fadin' Over time, but it's still hanging on for life
