The time has come for us to see
If you'll take me once again
But darlin', I'll be back
I'll be reborn
I know I'll always want to be your friend

This life was like climbing
So glad I put the time in
I've got so used to lovin' you
In this life, you so blessed me
Why would I want to get free?
I've been so happy lovin' you

I've lived too long, lost so much time
I must accept I might be finally dying, yeah
What will survive is my consciousness
It's what I guess
And when I'm alive again, you'll be my happiness
Yes, yes, yes

Next life, I will be climbing again
So glad I put the time in, and then
I'll remember how I once loved only you
In this life, you so blessed me
I would want that again, you see
To be happy again by lovin' you
I was young, Rick guitar
Long hair and big car
No, a big star
Just be happy and go far
Not too far
Love my town, love the boys
Down the Goldhawk Bar
Parkas and boxing boots
Faces were doing toots
We had no cash for that
Just had some hash for that
Lost my virginity
Kate took the piss out of me
Didn't care much who doubted me
Then I found dignity with you

This life was like climbing
I'm so glad I put the time in
I got so used to lovin' you
In this life, you so blessed me
Why would I want to get free?
I've been so happy lovin' you

Do you believe in life after this?
What science decries as only a myth
We hang onto dreams like beacons from some ancient days
Then we get on and live out our life
Till we're looking right into the light
We'll only know for sure when we're lost in the haze
The time has come for us to see
If you'll take me once again
But darlin', I'll be back
I'll be reborn
And I know I'll always want to be your friend
I always want to be your friend
