OLD MAN
OLD MAN
As a new day begins
I bury yesterdays sins
As a new day begins
Freshness of a mornings breeze
pushes through my clothing, my skin
Chilled
How it enters with such ease
I shiver
Though it feels refreshing
I'm so cold
I remember days like this
when I was younger
Yes, I remember days like this
as I grow old
With my life what have I done
Raised hell, drank whiskey,
and with those crazy women, I had fun
But now I am old
My bones are weak and they are cold
My mind misses
what my mind has aquired
My heart is failing
and my body's so tired
As the sun sets,
my soul shall rise
Into the heavens
and await my prize.
