lyrics

So wise, old eyes
Riptide, time flies
Mysterious guise
Unreal reprise

Fun tear, gray hair
Sun flair, don’t stare
My cupboard’s bare
Can’t help but care

With all my time I’ve had some fun
But nothing real and nothing long
When I look back what could have been
The only question that I have, where did I go wrong?

It never was my game but still I thought
If I was patient one day it would come
80 long, tough years and all for what
Still I’m waiting twiddling my thumbs

Near hit, much grit
Must sit, feel bit
Crippled spirit
No one hears it

In all my years I’ve had some fun
But nothing real and nothing long
When I look back what could have been
The only question that I have, where did I go wrong?

It never was my game but still I thought
If I was patient one day it would come
80 long, tough years and all for what
Still I’m waiting twiddling my thumbs

Golf all day, bowl all night
Life is great, I’m doing all right
Retiree, It’s treating me
Swell, my life was hell

Golf all day, bowl all night
Life is great, I’m doing all right
Retiree, It’s treating me
Swell, my life was hell

I’d trade it all away for just a glimmer
All the wisdom and knowledge from what I’ve read
Both physically and mentally I’m kicking
But really I know inside that I’m dead

Dead, dead, dead
