Father won't you please send all your love to me 'Cause I'm down and almost out And say a prayer for me if you believe in that sort of thing But just don't leave me out here to drown Walked to the river's edge so I could clear my head Watched the current moving fast But then I stopped to stare at my reflection there It was drifting down and never looking back ♪ Felt like I saw a ghost Someone I didn't know faded straight into the dark It looked a lot like me Through a lens and a three-inch screen But that couldn't be, no, I set myself apart I know I wasted time and lost some friends of mine Took them farther than they wished But now I realize that you can spend a life Just thinking something's normal till it's fixed ♪ Life's so fragile, man Too frail to walk or stand The good years come and go Much faster than you know But there is still time left Just depends how you measure it But there is still time left Just depends how you measure it
