I lay here

And I reminisce on my life

A wonderful time,

Until Age, the terrible, stole my dear wife

Then my friends,

'Till there was nothing left to steal

'Till I'm begging to be a victim

Of what I've hated for so long

To rid myself of the loneliness

And the ladies in the white smocks

That pretend to care

Age is a terrible thief

To take with no remorse,

Then abandon when you need it most

When all I pray for is release

From my aching joints

And shaking hands

The endless pills

That are supposed to ease my pain

But never really do

I remember the moments when I waited on Time, Age's twin

To go faster and faster

Like before I could vote

Or for my first paycheck

But now there's no paycheck

As Age keeps growing, and Time is shrinking

I'm left in wait

Until Age strikes again

And Time flies away like a feather in the wind

What used to be so heavy now just a grain of sand

My wife will be there waiting

Along with Billy and Sue

When Age, my dear friend, decides to take me too
