Ages

We'd searched for ages
But when did we get so old
Our feet on the pavement
Are growing cold
We left for adventure
And came to foreign skies
There I saw the wonders with my eyes
Oh pilgrim you've got my ear
Won't you tell me the stories
Of your younger years
Oh shout for your freedom
And asked me to decide
And then your pride began to show
As well as mine
And we fought with the devil
All through the night
And our faith was shaken
Though our flags were high
And all in all you never left my side
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh
And we fought with the devil
All through the night oh-oh-oh oh-oh
(But when did we get so old)
And the angel searched for the holy life oh-oh-oh oh-oh
(We'd searched for ages but when did we get so old)
And the lady danced as the calm ones sang oh-oh-oh oh-oh
(We'd searched for ages but when did we get so old)
And the flagpole saw the light of day oh-oh-oh oh-oh
(Our feet on the pavement are growing cold)
Growing cold
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
And we fought with the devil
All through the night
And our faith was shaken
Though our flags were high
And we fought with the devil
All through the night
And our faith was shaken
Though our flags were high
And all in all you never left my side
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Oh pilgrim you've got my ear
Won't you tell me the stories
Of your younger years
