The Sadness in Your Life Will Slowly Fade Lyrics

The sadness in our lives, my friend, will slowly fade away
but until time works its magic, we must struggle through the day.
How long must be transient, unwanted and astray?
From sorrow, how long must we flee?
But the night will be much kinder and accept us as we are,
and treat us with impunity when we have gone too far,
forgive all our shortcomings and meet us at the bar -
happiness for a small fee.

And the dawn may bring its demons, it may blind us with its truth
as we vomit last night's fun to find another loosened tooth,
clinging on to toilet seats and clinging on to youth.
Can you hear the creak of my weak knee?
But let's not be too hard on us, let's revel in this joy
which may be gone tomorrow, so let's stop being coy -
i know outside you're greying but inside you're still a boy
and you have a brother in me.

So raise a glass to friendship, don't forget to bring the pills;
we've drank and fought and f***** our way up many lovelorn hills
on our quest for ever deeper love and ever cheaper thrills.
Is this how it feels to be free?
