Gerontion. 
And when we go, 
when the fields are full of snow, 
and the sky is so grey. 
When a new year has begun, 
When two replaces one, 
Gerontion. 

Gerontion. 

When the engine's cooling down, 
will we reach the speed of sound, 
explosion so loud. 
In this year that's just begun, 
will the new replace the young? 
Gerontion. 

And the little flakes of snow, 
are just building up you know, 
there's an ice [bad word] will you believe a love succumbing? 
And the shadows grow I know, 
but I think it's time we go, 
under moonlight singing Gerontion is the beginning. 

Gerontion. 

Gerontion. 

Did you tell me too soon, 
that these wars made you lose, 
your faith in this world? 
I'll just watch the rising sun, 
when the spring has begun, 
Gerontion. 

Gerontion. 
And the little flakes of snow, 
are just building up you know, 
there's an ice [bad word] will you believe a love succumbing? 
And the shadows grow I know, 
but I think it's time we go, 
under moonlight singing Gerontion is the beginning. 

Gerontion. 

Gerontion. 

Gerontion.
