Immortal Songtext

von Val Davis

Lately I've been thinking about the way my life is going
All the things I used to know, I don't seem to be a knowin'
All the knowledge in the world has now been handed down
And is firmly in the grasp of every eighteen year old in town
And they are immortal.

I too was once like they are until I tried to touch the sun.
Now all the miles and heat and light have made my colors run.
There are no clear drawn lines except for the ones upon my face.
Now I wake to find that time and I are in a dead heat in this race.
And I'm not immortal anymore.

Oh for fields to run through and wings to fly.
Oh if I could feel just one more day like I'm never gonna die,
Like I'm never gonna die.
But I'm not immortal anymore.
