[Verse 1]
All my life I've been a slave to a pardon
My eyes transfixed somewhere far over the Jordan
And all my years I've wanted someone to die for
So I had a reason I burned

[Verse 2]
But I've never been where you were born
Or felt the things that broke your heart
Come talk to me, come talk to me
I want to understand

[Chorus]
And when we both grow old
And there's nothing left to say
I want you to know
That I loved you all my days
And when we close our eyes on this lifetime
I'll see you on the other side
Yes, I'll see you on the other side

[Verse 3]
I would count myself lucky, love, to entertain you
To find myself in the things that complicate you
And spend my life in Your Majesty's service
And I'd call myself satisfied
[Verse 4]
But in our limb of bone and lace
And time and love and body aches
I loved you more, I loved you more
But a clock keeps ticking down

[Chorus]
And when we both grow old
And there's nothing left to say
I want you to know
That I loved you all my days
And when we close our eyes on this lifetime
I'll see you on the other side
Yes, I'll see you on the other side

[Bridge]
If you hold on
Hold on, hold onto me

[Chorus]
And when we both grow old
And there's nothing left to say
I want you to know
That I loved you all my days
And when we close our eyes on this lifetime
I'll see you on the other side
Yes, I'll see you on the other side
[Chorus]
And when we both grow old
And there's nothing left to say
I want you to know
That I loved you all my days
And when we close our eyes on this lifetime
I'll see you on the other side
Yes, I'll see you on the other side
