Alter Bridge — Cradle To The Grave lyrics

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 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
Know, I need you so All you gave me Father, how you loved 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
