Texty: Jars of Clay. The White Elephant Sessions. Fly Farther.

He picked her up some flowers on a sunday afternoon
They sat out on the porch swing underneath the crescent moon
A lifetime seemed to pass
Staring at the skies
And on the swing he gave her the ring
There were tears in her eyes

I said I pray I'm not alone in my dreams about forever
That you and I could become one and always be together
We'd grow old and wise through all the days
For worse or for better
And I'll be true beside of you
Even now more than ever

And my time flies, but we'll fly farther
Into the night where the eyes of loneliness can never bother
All our dreams of together
Uneclipsed by never, never
My time flies; it's in your eyes
But we'll fly farther

Fifty years have ridden off into the sunset
And the tears that we have cried have overflown
And here we are, counting scars
Wounds of life's unending upset
You're with me and i'm with you
And I will never forget

And my time flies, but we'll fly farther
Into the night where the eyes of loneliness can never bother
All our dreams of together
Uneclipsed by never, never
My time flies; it's in your eyes
But we'll fly farther

He picked her up some flowers on a sunday afternoon
He rode the greyhound bus past the house they used to swoon
He knelt beside the grave, hung his head, a teardrop fell
And on the stone, an epitaph shown
The words he knew so well

And my time flies, but we'll fly farther
Into the night where the eyes of loneliness can never bother
All our dreams of together
Uneclipsed by never, never
My time flies; it's in your eyes
But we'll fly farther

My time flies, but we'll fly farther
Into the night where the eyes of loneliness can never bother
All our dreams of together
Uneclipsed by never, never
My time flies; it's in your eyes
But we'll fly farther

We'll fly farther
We'll fly farther
