Skates On

When you're spinning-plates-late

Instead of kicking-leaves-late

Hunker down

Until you find a spark

Make time to make good stories

To write the fireside songs

Put a spring in your step

Go out and have some fun

Good times and carry-ons

There's light left in the day

Enough to bloom

Don't look so deep inside

Gaze outward to the horizon

Halfway to heaven or hell

Enjoy the ride

It's time to get your skates on

We're only here for so long

Time to get your skates on

We're here and then gone

Are we nearly there yet?

Well, we don't always know

What lies around the corner

So, go and take some air

Don't take a rain check

Do it now

Make those memories

Live your dreams

We're just a flare on a lens

The house will still be dusty

When the kids have flown

When you are gone

On and on

Seasons fly

Leaves will fall

And wells run dry

Keep your chin up

Don't give up

Go out on your shield

As far as you can

The kids were

Rubbing-eyes-tired

The hours were filled with fun

Those days are long behind us

Here and then gone

Time to get your skates on

We're only here for so long

Time to get your skates on

We're here and we're gone

Here and gone

(La fine)
