So I'm here again with my oldest friend
He always understands how I feel
And he calms me down with that haunting sound
Of bronze and silvered steel

We lift the lead from my troubled head
It doesn't change a thing.
Just the way I see what's on the screen keeps my eyes from watering

It's what gets me through the day
Knowing soon it will all fade away

See the rose still grows outside my window
And though winter's almost here
We look beyond and know the sun
Will bring white petals back next year

I've not closed my eyes, no I'll keep them wide
I know life can be cruel
But I'm also sure we will endure
the world's still ending, but it's cool.

And what gets you through the day
that's for you to say.

The rose still grows outside my window
I know winter will be cruel
But look beyond and see the sun
The world's still ending, but it's cool.
