I
Never knew how time went by
So I never stopped a thing
No I never stopped to think
You
Never knew how you should cry
To get your way
Go get your way
When the stars give up the sky
When the moon it leaves the night
To the dark
That's how I'll know
When the birds fall from the trees
To sing their last song to me
That's how I'll know
We
Really could have been some one
But we never did a thing
Until the things they got us done
They
Say the future's a stubborns' child
So bemused at pushing welter
And now my restless nights are rife
When the stars give up the sky
When the moon it leaves the night
To the dark
That's how I'll know
When the birds fall from the trees
To sing their last song to me
That's how I'll know
Look at all these silly games we play
Always looking for an obstacle
I'm always looking for an obstacle
Now the stars gave up the sky
And the moon it left the night
To the dark
That's how I know
All the birds fell from the trees
And sang their last song to me
That's how I know
