Lyrics Counting Down The Years - Whyte Horses

Counting Down The Years

And so another letter falls
A chime goes off again
A thud upon the doormat, like a knife
Reads out the story of your life
A view of every shade of grey
The buildings loom above
No way is the only way
White flags are blowing nearer
I was busy doing nothing much
Not hurting anyone at all
And then the big announcement here
That you were counting down the years
When will I wake up?
Oh
Too much of anything’s too much
It’s not all sex and sea
A sticky hand is working overtime
Trying to make the perfect crime
A golden spoon or destitute
The oldest tale of all
Someone loses and someone wins
And on and on forever
I was hearing sounds from all around
Was almost back to being myself
But then your booming voice came loud
Dispelling all my efforts
Sometimes it’s a must to deviate
Some things are better left unsaid
While I was ticking off my fears
There you were counting down the years
When will I wake up?
Oh
Don’t die yet
Don’t die yet
Don’t die yet
Don’t die yet
Don’t die yet
Don’t die yet
Don’t die yet
No, don’t die yet
How do I get through this?
How do I get through this?
How
How
Don’t die yet
Don’t die yet / Your eyes are laughing
Don’t die yet / They’re laughing
Don’t die yet / Your eyes are laughing
Don’t die yet / They’re laughing
Don’t die yet / Your eyes are laughing
Don’t die yet / They’re laughing
No, don’t die yet
Don’t die yet
Don’t die yet
Don’t die yet
Don’t die yet
Don’t die yet
Don’t die yet
Don’t die yet
No, don’t die yet
