lyrics

I won't wait another day
I'm not everything when they have gone astray
And its suddenly on my plate
I know where the candle ends

And I want for you all to brighten up the darkest day
This city's soul, it picked me up and I start again
Through all it all you brighten up my day
Though I feel old and over the hill

And it's so damn hard to say
I call you anything when they have gone away
It's so impossible to pray
I know where the candle ends

And I want for you all to brighten up the darkest day
This city's soul, it picked me up and I start again
Through all it all you brighten up my day
Though I feel old and over the hill

I'm over the hill
