Author's comment: This song is about growing old and holding memories of the past. The song is written from the point of view of an old man who is coming to the realisation that his time will eventually come, and he is reminiscing.
Look in the mirror - its no illusion <br>I don't recognise, in my dillusion <br>The picture staring eye to eye with me <br>Like autumn leaves, my colour's changed <br>Turned to grey, it seems I've aged <br>I don't know me any more <br> <br><Bridge> <br>All I have are pictures <br>That have faded over time <br>These pictures aren't material <br>But memories in my mind <br> <br><Chorus> <br>Times change, who knows what lies ahead ? <br>Count the times when we have cried and bled <br>Remember how we fought <br>And the memories life brought <br>I wouldn't change them for the world instead! <br> <br>The hands swing by with endless motion <br>Streams once young grow into oceans <br>Someday I'll be one with the sea <br>The world spins on and I'm still standing <br>All alone but understanding <br>Everyone must fall from grace <br> <br><Bridge> <br><Chorus> <br> <br>In my time on this great rock <br>From coast to coast and dock to dock <br>I've learnt the lessons life set out to teach me <br>I've seen the greatest rising and falling <br>Watched them fly and mocked them crawling <br>Life is just too short to be wasted <br> <br><Bridge> <br><Chorus> <br> <br>(Spoken) <br>All I have are faded pictures <br>These memories of mine... <br>And I wouldn't change them for the world
