Mother, tell me
I long to hear the stories
Just like long ago
All these memories
Start to fade before me
I cannot let them go
No, I can't let them go
[Chorus]
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place when you're gone, oh
Oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Father, stay here
Don't leave me like the other
No, I need you so
All you gave me
Father, how you loved me
Treated like your own
Don't ever let me go
[Chorus]
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place when you're gone
[Bridge]
There's no way to deny the brevity of life
[Guitar Solo]
As time keeps marching on, all we have is lost
[Guitar Solo]
As time keeps marching on, all we have is lost
Nothing lasts forever, nothing stays the same
[Chorus]
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place when you're gone
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place when you're gone
[Outro]
How am I to carry on
How am I to carry on
(As time keeps marching on)
How am I to carry on?
(All we have is lost)
Nothing lasts forever, nothing ever stays the same
[Verse 1] Mother, tell me I long to hear the stories Just like long ago All these memories Start to fade before me I cannot let them go No, I can't let them go [Chorus] From the cradle to the grave It's a fear I can't escape Who will be my hiding place when you're gone, oh Oh, oh [Verse 2] Father, stay here Don't leave me like the other No, I need you so All you gave me Father, how you loved me Treated like your own Don't ever let me go [Chorus] From the cradle to the grave It's a fear I can't escape Who will be my hiding place when you're gone [Bridge] There's no way to deny the brevity of life [Guitar Solo] As time keeps marching on, all we have is lost [Guitar Solo] As time keeps marching on, all we have is lost Nothing lasts forever, nothing stays the same [Chorus] From the cradle to the grave It's a fear I can't escape Who will be my hiding place when you're gone From the cradle to the grave It's a fear I can't escape Who will be my hiding place when you're gone [Outro] How am I to carry on How am I to carry on (As time keeps marching on) How am I to carry on?
