Down by the river, down by the shore we go
The moon above cast a beautiful glow
We walked around talking through the night

Old Age is a bitch.....
As this game of truth, slowly fills up with lies
As the happy ever after gets more and more disguised

Follow the arc through the sky
Hard to judge how high

Lyrics:
Don’t you bow, to kings and queens
Rise above, everything
If the devil beckons, and the angels sing

C’mon everybody, take a stand
Higher, Higher, Higher, Higher…

Am I fool to love…

There’s no point in looking…
