My personal favorite. As you get older lyrics like these come to mean much much more to you.
I turn my back to the wind To catch my breath, Before I start off again Driven on, Without a moment to spend To pass an evening With a drink and a friend
I let my skin get too thin Id like to pause, No matter what I pretend Like some pilgrim -- Who learns to transcend -- Learns to live As if each step was the end
Time stand still -- Im not looking back But I want to look around me now See more of the people And the places that surround me now
Freeze this moment A little bit longer Make each sensation A little bit stronger Experience slips away...
I turn my face to the sun Close my eyes, Let my defences down -- All those wounds That I cant get unwound
I let my past go too fast No time to pause -- If I could slow it all down Like some captain, Whose ship runs aground -- I can wait until the tide Comes around
Make each impression A little bit stronger Freeze this motion A little bit longer The innocence slips away...
Summers going fast -- Nights growing colder Children growing up -- Old friends growing older Experience slips away...
