Alter Bridge - Cradle To The Grave Lyrics

Mother, tell me
I long to hear the stories
Just like long ago

All these memories start
to fade before me
I cannot let them go
No, I can't let them go

[chorus]
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place
when you're gone?

Father, stay here
Don't leave me like the other
No, I need you so

All you gave me, father, how you loved me
Treated like your own
Don't ever let me go

[chorus]
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place
when you're gone?

There's no way to deny the brevity of life

As time keeps marching on,
all we have is lost
As time keeps marching on,
all we have is lost
Nothing lasts forever, nothing stays the same

[chorus]
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place
when you're gone?

From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Who will be my hiding place
when you're gone?

How am I to carry on?
How am I to carry on?
(as time keeps marching on)
How am I to carry on?
(all we have is lost)
Nothing lasts forever
nothing ever stays the same
