someday when we're old, and we still have our minds
when we've truly loved the world and found all there is to find
may we lie down in the grass when our time has finally passed
and let the wind carry us away

no earthquakes or starvation, no wreckage or devastation
no gunshots, no drowning, or long stays in hospital beds
just the sweet, sweet caress of a mother's tenderness
as we lie down, down with the dead

we'll say isn't it amazing the way we rode the edge
between love and misery and fear and faith and doubt, life and death
what's waiting at the end?
i'd love to do it all again

we'll see our beloved family pulling us up and out
into the tunnel of love at the end of the valley of doubt
what's waiting at the end?
i'd love to do it all again
the joy, the pain, the roller coaster ride
you and me, side by side

saying isn't it amazing the way we rode the edge
between love and misery and fear and faith and doubt, life and death
what's waiting at the end?
i'd love to do it with you again
