I've had a listen to the song on youtube and i have the lyrics which i think are correct, save for one line which is repeated twice. I'm not sure about it. Here's what I think is right:

No-ones gonna come along and line your path with gold
And if they did you would unfold
And if they did you’d be wrong to take it
After all the tears
And all the laughter
Your happiness is a string of disaster
Oh, what more could someone ask for

No-ones gonna say its wrong to set alight your soul
But if you did where would it go
With all your home in ashes
After all the fear
Of showing ages
On your face like a heavy scent of time
When time is all we’re after

(?) the places in (?)
We will watch them all walk by
To the waterside…

After all the fear
Of showing ages
On your face like a heavy scent of time
When time is all we’re after

Still on all the walls we have reminders
Of the times we’ve left behind us
Now all your words are silence

(?) the places in (?)
We will watch them all walk by
To the waterside…

The line with the (?) next to it is the one I don't know. But you can have a listen yourself and see. I think they're right, but if you have any amendments let me know because i'm eager to know the lyrics too :)

After spending quite an amount of time searching for the lyrics on the internet, I finally found them!

No one’s going to come along and line your palms with gold,
And if they did, you would unfold;
And if they did, you’d be wrong to take it.

After all the tears and all the laughter,
Your happiness is a string of disasters -
Oh, what more could someone ask for?

No one’s going to say it’s wrong to set alight your soul,
But if they did, where would it go
With all your home in ashes?

After all the fear of showing ages,
On your face like the heavy scent of time
When time is all we’re after.

Step away, stay in the light,
Then we’ll watch them all walk by
To the waterside.

After all the fear of showing ages,
On your face like the heavy scent of time
When time is all we’re after.

Still, on all the walls we have reminders
Of the times we left behind us,
Now all your words are silence.

Step away, stay in the light,
Then we’ll watch them all walk by
To the waterside.
