|
From your singular secret eye |
|
watch the neighbourhood passin by |
|
Stay by your TV and telephone |
|
Stay in this fortress that you call home |
|
Now you are constantly on your guard |
|
but it's tough as they're getting |
|
smarter and faster, spreading like rabbits |
|
across the land. |
|
Was a time when the sky was blue |
|
and the traffic was nice and slow |
|
Now, we've got tools to communicate |
|
We fly out in minutes to any state |
|
Still I see sadness in your eyes |
|
and thru the walls I can hear your sighs |
|
and it's getting harder as you're getting |
|
older and that's no lie. |
|
Was a time when your head was stronger |
|
You were brilliant but that's no longer true |
|
Now your memory is growing weaker |
|
You have long since passed your peak |
|
No more Ace to play, in a fading day |
|
You are still alive, nothing less - no more |
|
and the years go by, thru the walls I can hear your sighs. |
