LYRICS:
The changing of the guard; a change is always hard.
The clock is running down, taking your life away.
Why does this watch of gold make you feel so lost and cold
When you decided long ago it wouldn't change you?
The changing of the guard.

Sue takes her time passing through the turnstile.
Jake smiles and tips his hat, says, "Mind the stairs".
A commissionaire as long as she remembers, and that's awhile.
When tomorrow comes she wonders if he'll notice she's not there.

Fred came to work today a little early
To pack some things and take some time alone.
He closes his eyes and in his mind it's many years ago.
Beginnings are like endings;
They're no different when they're gone.

The changing of the guard; a change is always hard.
The clock is running down, taking your life away.
Why does this watch of gold make you feel so lost and cold
When you decided long ago it wouldn't change you?

All Hell breaks loose at 8:00 as phones and faxes take the day.
Grace breezes through the door; she's 25.
Fred has to say he likes her even though she took his job.
She's quick and smart; she has the looks but she's still a little odd.
An urgent memo's passed around to everyone but Sue.
The crisis calls for everyone to leave.
They apologize profusely 'cause there's no time for good-byes.
Stay in touch, come visit soon, be sure to leave the keys.

The changing of the guard; a change is always hard.
The clock is running down, taking your life away.
Why does this watch of gold make you feel so lost and cold
When you decided long ago it wouldn't change you?

This time's a gift, a new beginning.
This is no time to come apart.
The future rests on what we choose to leave behind.
Life is only over when it's over in your mind.

The changing of the guard; a change is always hard.
The clock is running down; is it taking your life away?
Why does this watch of gold make you feel so lost and cold
When you decided long ago It wouldn't change you?

The changing
The changing of the guard; a change is always hard.
The clock is running down; is it taking your life away?
Why does this watch of gold make you feel so lost and cold
When you decided long ago it wouldn't change you?

The changing of the guard.
Why does this watch of gold make you feel so lost and cold
When you decided long ago, it wouldn't change you?
The changing of the guard.
