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)
