lyrics

With the first sign of light came the last day of summer
Parking the car to see long distance runners
Sat holding hands, thinking how far we’ve come this year
As the sun disappeared

Somehow it feels like it’s all back to normal
Talking is easy and touching informal
Let’s strengthen foundations for the next time the storm arrives
And get on with our lives

We’re up – up, up, we’re up
We’re down – down, down, we’re down
We’re back – back, back, we’re back
And we’re gone – gone, gone, we’re gone

In solemn acceptance of days turning colder
And sadness of just getting older and older
When mournful new music is all that the soul will allow
Then the last days are now.

We’re up – up, up, we’re up
We’re down – down, down, we’re down
We’re back – back, back, we’re back
And we’re gone – gone, gone, we’re gone

In darkness again, I miss the shadows turning
Boys into men.
Right now the start is further away than the end.
The turning point in your life
That some accept and some fight.

Me? I was always brought up as a fighter
Standing my ground and demanding what’s right
I was brought up with violence but fought it to find discipline
Now here’s a fight I’ll never win.

We’re up – up, up, we’re up
We’re down – down, down, we’re down
We’re back – back, back, we’re back
And we’re gone – gone, gone, we’re gone
