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
