Story behind the song
It's about a friend who is dying. Not exactly uplifting, but entirely true.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
I know that your light's fading and there's no persuading it to shine.
We all know the verdict but I can't believe this is your time.
Some people blame your choices, but that's just their own fear
They'll have a different story when their time is near.
Chorus:
Yesterday we talked of boys
And now we speak of death.
You've gone from playing with your toys
To taking your last breath.
Verse 2:
Eating our cheese sandwiches below the petroglyphs.
Scaring ourselves as we climbed above, up the sandstone cliffs.
Riding bikes down the highway to the edge of the next town.
Fifteen miles to say we did it and then we turned around.
Chorus
Verse 3:
We gave up the softball games. We thought that we'd outgrown them.
If only we could run and play and know now what we'd known then.
The boys' sons now have grown to men who have boys of their own.
You gave your love to an older man and now he's on his own.
Chorus
Verse 4:
I see that your light's fading and I can't make it shine
So I'll say good-bye, Karen. It seems we're running out of time.
