Janis Ian - Hymn lyrics

When we grow old and love grows cold
And time runs down like a river
That calls us home

The eyes grow dim the light grown thin
And time will end here forever
Long time gone

Then time and the river must
Stop in their tracks
Or roll on forever, there's no turning back
I've waiting too long To be
Left here like this long time gone

Then weep no more the heart is pure
These hands are sure like a river
That clings to shore

The love we learn the love we burn
A love that burns in the darkness
Will weep no more

Dreams die young
