When I was young and alive |
|
Just looking for ways to survive |
|
I never did quite realise |
|
How time eats away at your life |
|
Now I am older for sure |
|
And close to the end of it all |
|
So I reflect with hindsight |
|
Sitting alone every night |
|
And I was desperate to find |
|
The things I have here by my side |
|
Now that I've let it all go |
|
I cry for the children so |
|
And I've spent all my life |
|
Searching for nothing |
|
And I've wasted my time |
|
To end up with nothing |
|
And I tried so hard to understand |
|
The yearnings of a younger man |
|
I know that I would change my plans |
|
If I could take my time again |
|
When I was young and alive |
|
Just looking for ways to survive |
|
I never did quite realise |
|
How time eats away at your life |
|
I have spent all my life |
|
Searching for nothing |
|
And I wasted my time |
|
And it's all come to nothing |
|
When I was young and alive |
|
I needed nothing |
|
Now I am ready to die |
|
I've still got nothing |
