he said to lose my life or lose my love
that's the nightmare I've [bad word] from
so let me hold you in my arms a while
I was always careless as a child
and there's a part of me that still believes
my soul will soar above the trees
but a desperate fear flows through my blood
our dead love's buried beneath the mud

let's grow old together
and die at the same time
let's grow old together
and die at the same time

I said,
I've got no time, I have to go
and I was more right than I will ever know
He said 'my heart is fate' well mine's regret
and left him crying next to the chapel steps

let's grow old together
and die at the same time
let's grow old together
and die at the same time
let's grow old together
and die at the same time
let's grow old together
and die at the same time

(he said!)
he said to lose my life or lose my love
that's the nightmare I've [bad word] from
so let me hold you in my arms a while
(let's grow old together and die at the same time)
I was always careless as a child
(let's grow old together and die at the same time)
and there's a part of me that still believes
my soul will soar above the trees
(he said! let's grow old together and die at the same time)
but a desperate fear flows through my blood
our dead love's buried beneath the mud
