Hey down in splendor, join the slide

Standing on the seashore and the tide

Comes rolling through your eyes

You've got no place to go

Comes rolling through your mind

You've got no one to know

Hey down in splendor, take a bow

Blinded in the white light and the crowd

Die slowly in your arms

You're left to lie alone

And save your face of changing color

And your smile of fading color

Cause you'll never find another

Who will give you ever after

And you shouldn't have to say goodbye

And wonder if this way is how

It's going to be
