How many days since we've spoken?
   How many times have you tried
   To mend the pieces of my broken heart?
  
   Don't tell me everything's over
   Don't take the sun from my eye
   It's much too late to be alone
  
   Chorus:
   When our love grows old
   And the fire gets cold
   I will scream and shout it
   Till there is no room to doubt it
   When the colours fade
   On the world we made
   I will keep on trying
   Long after the flame is dying
  
  
   Too late too long to mention
   Too wide to keep it inside
   This renovation of my wounded soul
  
   You are the wind of invention
   You are the sun in my eye
   You are the one who keeps me whole
  
   When our love grows old..
   And the fire gets cold
   [2x]
  
   When our love grows old..
   (How many days since we've spoken?
   How many times have you tried)
   And the fire gets cold..
   (To mend the pieces of my broken heart?)
   When our love grows old..
   (Don't tell me everything's over
   Don't take the sun from my eye)
   And the fire gets cold..
   (It's much too late to be alone)
