This day is getting older
Ab A
In fading light it's beautiful

This wind is blowing colder

And too soon I'll feel its pull

Still I took all my chances

Earned myself an even score
Ab A
Try to learn my lessons well
E
And I don't have the answers

For those questions anymore
Ab A
Only love can be both heaven and hell
E C#m
So sturdy up sturdy up your heart
Ab A
For the road is long ahead

I'll be with you even though we're apart

But your road is yours to tread

And so it goes and so it goes

And so it goes slows your mind mind mind

I've grown old on this ocean
Ab A
Gave her all my stronger years

Gave my wife my devotion

When she died the ocean my tears

I've tried to teach you well son

All of everything I knew

Of how to live this life be true

Don't bow your head to no one

And no matter what you do

If you start then see it through

So sturdy up sturdy up your heart

For the road is long ahead

But your road is yours to tread
