[Intro]
He had a dream
It was haunting him at night
It would fly into his hands
So he tried to cage it
But he only made it fly away
[Verse 1]
He heard a song
It was running through his mind
It was singing from the past
So he tried to sing it
But he found he could not make it last
[Chorus]
The world is falling apart
He's getting older
And there's a funeral in his heart
[Verse 2]
He was alone
With a picture of his life
On the outside looking in
So he tried to change it
But he lost the person he had been
[Chorus]
The world is falling apart
He's getting older
And there's a funeral in his heart
Thunder moving under the mountain
Thunder in his dreams
Hoping that there must be a word for
Everything he means
[Verse 3]
He had a love
It was keeping him alive
It was someone else ago
So he tried to hide it
But he knew he'd never let it go
[Outro]
The world is falling apart
He's getting older
And there's a funeral in his heart
And there's a funeral in his heart
