Text: Dream Theater. A Change Of Seasons VII: The Crimson Sunset.

I'm much wiser now
A lifetime of memories run through my head
They taught me how
For better or worse, alive or dead
I realize there's no turning back
Life goes on the off beaten track

I sit down with my son
Set to see the crimson sunset
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may
Many years have come and gone
I've lived my life, but now must move on
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may

He's my only one, now that my time has come
Now that my life is done, we look into the sun
Seize the day and don't you cry
Now it's time to say goodbye
Even though I'll be gone
I will live on, live on"
