Getting Old

Take me down next to the water,

Next to flowers and old times

I hope the view is still the same

Cuz I've been losing strength and power

Regret occupates my mind

I'm sick of loneliness and pain

I used to be young and free

Worried about my legacy

Now I'm aged and alone

I'm getting old and growing up,

Is not what it's cracked up to be

We're just names in stone

When you're young you think you're perfect

Indestructible and strong

Well let me tell you that you're wrong

Cause I have watched lives come and go

My God I've seen my children die

Respect and glory are just talk

I used to be young and free

Worried about my legacy

Now I'm aged and alone

I'm getting old and growing up,

Is not what it's cracked up to be

We're just names in stone

We're just names in stone

Hold on to your youth cause soon you'll be old too

Hold on to your youth cause soon you will die too
