The night is falling, the world is calling

Your heart is yearning, your soul is burning

But I can't hold you, I can't control you

As you're slipping away, what can I say?

[Chorus

Time slips away, like shadows in the light,

You chase your dreams while I fade from your sight.

Caught in this tide, where our fates drift apart,

I’m left here yearning, with an open heart.

The rain is pouring, the wind is roaring

Your tears are falling, your pain is calling

But I can't reach you, I can't teach you

To stay by my side, no matter how I tried

[Chorus

Time slips away, like shadows in the light,

You chase your dreams while I fade from your sight.

Caught in this tide, where our fates drift apart,

I’m left here yearning, with an open heart.

[Bridge

I've tried to hold on, to keep you near

But the distance between us grows year after year

This ache in my heart, it's tearing me apart

As I watch you slip away, further away

The dawn is breaking, my heart is aching

Your life is moving, my soul is drowning

But I can't stop you, I can't block you

You're on your way, and I'm left to pray

[Chorus

Time slips away, like shadows in the light,

You chase your dreams while I fade from your sight.

Caught in this tide, where our fates drift apart,

I’m left here yearning, with an open heart.

Time slips away, like shadows in the light,

You chase your dreams while I fade from your sight.

Caught in this tide, where our fates drift apart,

I’m left here yearning, with an open heart.
