I keep [bad word] but I can't get to the mountain 
Behind me lie the years that I mis-spent 
And I've been sitting like a flower in the fountain 
When all the love I'm gonna need is heaven sent 

Gonna try my best to get there 
But I can't afford the bus fare 
And the storm that's rolling over 
Man, it makes me wanna cry 

When I was told 
The streets were paved with gold 
And it be known time is getting on when we were young 
It's alright, if you dance with me tonight 
We'll fight the dying of the light and we'll catch the sun 

Woke up sleeping on a train that was bound for nowhere 
The echoes that I could hear were all my own 
The world had turned and I'd [bad word] a stranger 
Got tired of watching all the flowers turn to stone 

Gonna try my best to get there 
But I can't afford the bus fare 
And the storm that's rolling over 
Man, it makes me wanna cry 

Feel the cold against my shoulder 
When [bad word] on the winter 
And it seems to last forever 
And it makes me wanna, makes me wanna cry 

When I was told 
The streets were paved with gold 
And it be known time is getting on when we were young 
It's alright, if you dance with me tonight 
We'll fight the dying of the light and we'll catch the sun
