As an old man, I'm a young man Cause I've not been old for long And before these trembling waters settle I'll have flown the pond So I don't mean to be morbid Or a bit too on the nose But I'd like to share a few things That I've learned along the road When you're fine chasing dreams It's the finish line that recedes And the riddle stays a riddle All the humour's bittersweet All nature does is dance So when you dance you're in accord Look no further than the feeling That it gives you for reward Reward, reward, reward Simple things, hard to learn Fires up, burn, burn, burn Simple truth, hard to see Not what you want, but what you need I've been a sleepwalker, a cheap talker A sly grin, a discreet orphan I've held steady for decades I've led a lover through a maze Throwing bottles at the wall When someone forgot to call I've done all the things that a wild heart will do I will do When you're fine chasing dreams It's the finish line that recedes And the riddle stays a riddle All the humour's bittersweet All nature does is dance So when you dance you're in accord Look no further than the feeling That it gives you for reward Reward, reward, reward Simple things, hard to learn Fires up, burn, burn, burn Simple truth, hard to see Not what you want, but what you need I've been a sleepwalker, a cheap talker A sly grin, a discreet orphan Simple things, hard to learn Fires up, burn, burn, burn Simple truth, hard to see Not what you want, but what you need What you need
