You said all love fades and turns astray
You said you’ ve no cash to spend today
I hope you find your peace in all these ways
Don't let sadness take your light away
One day at twenty years of age
Step by step we neared thewater's edge
Five coins alone lay in your pouch’ s cage
We split a meal and turned a new page
You said all love fades and turns astray
You said you’ ve no cash to spend today
I hope you find your peace in all these ways
Don't let sadness take your light away
One day at thirty years of age
I walked along the open street stage
I craved a bowl of beef noodle wage
But wealth could never free myspirit's cage
I can’ t forget the words you used to say
No letters left for me to display
Time steals away our yesterdays
We leave behind the tears of the fray
You said all love fades and turns astray
You said you’ ve no cash to spend today
I hope you find your peace in all these ways
Don't let sadness take your light away
One day at eighty years of age
Will your sweet spirit find its way to stay
