This is the time I’ve been waiting for too long
This is the corner where I’ll sit and sing my song
This is the music that keeps me on my feet
This is the border, this is a place we used to meet
This is the avenue of a life devoid of any fear
This is a boardwalk between memory and cheer
This is the Instagram of a face that once smiled
This is the hope, this is the way, this is the child
These are the dying embers of the autumn of my life
These are my children, my cat and cherished wife
This is the loneliness that comes from too much pain
This is the heartache when there’s nothing left to gain
This is the moment this is the vision and this is the sky
This is the battlefield where my dreams all live and die
This is the day, the minute, the second and the end
This is the place where I’ll say farewell my friend
These are my words, my thoughts and last prayers
These are the memories I’ll leave upon your stairs
