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
