…And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead - Life Lyrics

Another page of history
Another failed and hopeless year
Of wasted life and wasted time
Long ago you sang a tune
Of running from a painful youth
And now it's dry, you're wondering why

Talk to me, reveal how your life must seem
All the wonderful things that you could never achieve
Now you're out of time, your life is dry, you're wondering why

Remember how it used to be
You were young and love was cheap
And every night was fire and wine
Now you face another year
In a lonely state, in an empty place
Wiping dry your crying eyes
Wipe and dry your crying eyes

Talk to me, reveal how your life has been
All the wonderful things that you could never achieve
Now you're out of time, your life is dry, you're wondering why

I lost the rainbow
Behind that cloud, I lost the rainbow there
It's hard getting over all the rain
It's hard getting older all the same
