The sun is hanging low now and the nights are drawing in | |
Everywhere I go are signs of autumn — the air seems thin | |
A new ache in a muscle, a new crack in some bone | |
Another word that just enters the new language on its own... innit? | |
And I fail, every time I lose the trail, every time the paper-chase of this new race | |
Leads me into some darkened place, I flap my hands in effort to keep up | |
A new band on the TV, with, oh-so familiar sound! | |
That echoes things and sentiments I liked before, — first time around | |
And I fail, every time I touch the braille, every time I run my fingers 'cross the words | |
I cannot read, the dots are blurred, there's nothing you can write that I can feel | |
Age! — creeping on me like rampage, carving lines upon my face | |
The fast distorting youth, the sunken eyes, the broken tooth, | |
The shadows of reflections I once knew | |
Old? — Not quite yet there, but I'm told days get shorter as you | |
Mould them to your respective needs, shrinking as your life blood bleeds | |
Into someone else's system, or their veins. | |
HOLD ON!!! for a moment! — the sky's as blue as when I was young! | |
And I've as much right to play there as the young guys | |
Beneath a billion-year-old sun. | |
And I still have my fingers, and they still push the keys | |
'Cos everyone I know got older... at the same rate as me | |
There are only two of me | |
One's lost in 1973, with faded loons and pom-pom hat, an afghan, C.N.D. and all that | |
Peace and Love and Rock and Roll. |
The sun is hanging low now and the nights are drawing in | |
Everywhere I go are signs of autumn the air seems thin | |
A new ache in a muscle, a new crack in some bone | |
Another word that just enters the new language on its own... innit? | |
And I fail, every time I lose the trail, every time the paperchase of this new race | |
Leads me into some darkened place, I flap my hands in effort to keep up | |
A new band on the TV, with, ohso familiar sound! | |
That echoes things and sentiments I liked before, first time around | |
And I fail, every time I touch the braille, every time I run my fingers ' cross the words | |
I cannot read, the dots are blurred, there' s nothing you can write that I can feel | |
Age! creeping on me like rampage, carving lines upon my face | |
The fast distorting youth, the sunken eyes, the broken tooth, | |
The shadows of reflections I once knew | |
Old? Not quite yet there, but I' m told days get shorter as you | |
Mould them to your respective needs, shrinking as your life blood bleeds | |
Into someone else' s system, or their veins. | |
HOLD ON!!! for a moment! the sky' s as blue as when I was young! | |
And I' ve as much right to play there as the young guys | |
Beneath a billionyearold sun. | |
