When I was young I raised some hell
I did it all and I went to jail
But I saw through that and I made some love
As I watch the years slip away.

I sang about Jesus but that went by
I still don't know why
But I get the feeling deep inside
As I watch the years slip away.

I don't want to bring you down
I don't want to bring you down ...

A friend of mine came to me
He said, "Tell me, what is eternity?"
I said, "The answer lies out of reach,
The only ones who know have gone away."

I don't want to bring you down
I don't want to bring you down ...
