He had a dream haunting him at night

It would fly into his hands, so he tried to cage it

But he only made it fly away

He heard a song, it was running through his mind

It was singing from the past, so he tried to sing it

But he found he could not make it last



The world is falling apart, he's getting older, and there's a funeral in

his heart



He was alone with a picture of his life on the outside looking in

So he tried to change it, but he lost the person he had been



The world is falling apart, he's getting older, and there's a funeral in

his heart



Thunder moving under the mountain, thunder in his dreams

Hoping that there must be a word for everything he means

He had a love, it was keeping him alive

It was someone else ago, so he tried to hide it

But he knew he'd never let it go



The world is falling apart, he's getting older, and there's a funeral in

his heart
