Vertical Horizon Lines Upon Your Face lyrics

A small group of boys walks down the street
Throwing a ball in the air, one says to another
"Hey, I'll always be your brother
I'll always be your friend"

"Do you remember when we thought we were immortal
And the games we played always had a happy end?
But in the game of life all the roses wither
And time writes its lines upon your face"

Summer's here and three young men
Drive through the town in the night air
When fall comes they'll part again
One turns to another and he says

"Do you remember when we thought we were immortal
And the games we played always had a happy end?
But in the game of life all the roses wither
And time writes its lines upon your face"

It's three A.M and he's been feeling lonely
Work's been hard and the city's hard too
He picks up the phone and halfway across the country
A brother listens to his blues, he says


"Do you remember when we thought we were immortal
And the games we played always had a happy end?
But in the game of life all the roses wither
And time writes its lines upon your face"

Lift your voices loud and clearly
Sing for brotherhood right now
Lift your voices loud and clearly
Sing for sisterhood right now

Sometimes I wish that we all were immortal
And the game of life always had a happy end
But I know it's not true, oh, time keeps passing
But I'm just glad to spend my time with you

Lift your voices loud and clearly
Sing for brotherhood right now
Lift your voices loud and clearly
Sing for sisterhood right now
