Parades Go By

I'll linger here

Your ring upon my finger, dear

And sing till dawn

A song of you and me and what and why

For time is all

I have to keep

Between these walls and half asleep

The days go by

A million little nights and

Days go by

And I don't mind

Parades go by

So many beautiful parades go by

Leave me behind

I'll sit and stare

How could

I venture anywhere

And let the centuries fall where they may but never die

For I have loved

And so I lost the world above

Beyond the moss

The days go by

A million little nights and

Days go by

And I don't mind

Parades go by

So many beautiful parades go by

Leave me behind

The days go by

And I don't mind

Parades go by

Leave me behind
