Isn't this heavy?
Like you never thought it would be.
It's too heavy.
You keep dreaming of days gone by.
But they won't come back, no.
So you keep on,
Though the winds of change will blow.
How these winds move.
The kind we never thought we'd know.
That don't matter now, no.

How the time passes and we grow.
How your heart beats and glows.

And the band plays on...
I'd take it all from you if I could.
Couples dance past...
I'd take it all.
But life ain't like that.
No, life ain't like that.
Hold my hand,
Let's ask the band to play our song.

Don't let your heart break.
You know there's still you and me.
Everything else is nothing that we need.
We can't take it on Home.

How the years shape our love.
How the band plays for us....

...Everybody knows how the melody goes.
So sing....
