Ask any mirror |
|
Is there no escape |
|
He will show you lines that time has etched into your face |
|
And all around the edges |
|
Life is turning gray |
|
And you can no longer turn your head the other way |
|
And the new hard times are here |
|
And the new hard times are here |
|
When eating comes too easy |
|
Nothing makes you think |
|
There's too much time to sun yourself |
|
And too much wine to drink |
|
And now there's nothing left to help maintain your failing pride |
|
You hunger for the older days when rich men satisfied |
|
And the new hard times are here |
|
And the new hard times are here |
|
In the twilight years life takes a bend |
|
And you start to view it from the other end |
|
You laughed a lot and had your fun |
|
Now you find there's so much left undone |
|
And ashes to ashes, dust to dust |
|
In your lifetime that's the only rule you've come to trust |
|
And waiting 'round the corner |
|
To put his arms around you |
|
Death comes a'courting and you don't know what to do |
|
And the new hard times are here |
|
And the new hard times are here |
|
And the new hard times are here |
|
And the new hard times are here |
