By and By

If I close my eyes and sleep until noon, pull the thyme from the ground by its roots, pretend I'm ok, all right, feeling fine...You can't fall down if you don't try to climb. We live just for a moment by and by. I won't look for an answer in the sky. So you think the nights are turning cold, don't want to face that we're getting old. Take a walk up to 33rd, listen close but I don't hear a word. We live just for a moment by and by. I won't look for an answer in the sky. If we could live for the moment by and by, I wouldn't search for a reason or ask why. Pretend what I want and what you like. Days and nights in this dream whispering lies. Take another sip of wine, pull on our gloves and get ready to fight. We live just for a moment by and by. I won't look for an answer in the sky.
