Cradle To The Grave - Alter Bridge

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

From the cradle to the grave

It’s a fear I can’t escape

Who will be my hiding place when you’re gone, oh

Oh, oh

Father, stay here

Don’t leave me like the other

Know I need you so

All you gave me

Father, how you love me

Treated like your own

Don’t ever let me go

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

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
